Re: Broken Pipe Exception

I'm afraid its very hard to diagnose a broken pipe exception from the
client stack trace. The OS or the network has torn down the TCP
connection unexpectedly.

You're right to go looking for firewalls and so on. Maybe a wireshark
trace would point the finger better.

The networking layer in the grinder is pretty basic and just delegates
to TCP for most things. There's no retry in the worker, and to implement
it would mean adding some sort of windowing to the internal protocol to
remove duplicates on reconnect. Bottom line - the grinder expects the
network used for internal comms between its processes to be reliable.
