Hello,

I am considering LCM, and I have read your technical report where you
compare it to IPC et. al. However, how is LCM different from something
ZeroMQ and its ilk?

Thanks

I'm not very familiar with ZeroMQ (and I don't know what it's ilk
are), but here are a few conceptual differences.

LCM has a single publish/subscribe messaging model. ZeroMQ has more models.
LCM has a marshalling/unmarshalling layer with a type specification
language. ZeroMQ does not, and expects you to take care of
marshalling/unmarshalling on your own.
