any solution?

I received a NetGear thread error in the long run.

Meaning your connection is unstable.

any solution?

Yes, try removing these flags: "flag":1,"copy": False, "track": False. Specifically flag=1 which enables ZMQ_DONTWAIT.
Also you could use pattern=2 in your script, which is zmq.PUB/zmq.SUB (ZMQ Publish/Subscribe Pattern) with NetGear API. In this pattern, both Server and Client end works independently and messages are published without the knowledge of what or if any subscriber of that knowledge exists. No single publisher overwhelms the subscriber. The messages from both publishers are interleaved.

[abhiTronix]

More knowledge about this error:
ZMQ Python wrappers raise zmq.error.Again if the underlying C API returns EAGAIN. You could follow zmq_recv documentation, which states:

• ZMQ_DONTWAIT: Specifies that the operation should be performed in non-blocking mode. If there are no messages available on the specified socket, the zmq_recv() function shall fail with errno set to EAGAIN.
• EAGAIN: Non-blocking mode was requested and no messages are available at the moment.

Solution: @sourabCV Try removing these flags: "flag":1,"copy": False, "track": False

[abhiTronix]

I'll remove these parameters from docs.

[sourabCV]

Thanks for your response

Today i removed that flags and all, now waiting for 48 hours to check this worked or not

pattern=2 also used one time but that also generate a different error after this error confermation i will show you pattern 2 error

[sourabCV]

After removing the flag it's working. Thank you for your support.
