Subject: PF_PACKET: packets out of order
Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2001 01:32:16 +0200 (MET DST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200110082332.BAA16370@aunt.gaertner.de> (raw)

Hi!

NeTraMet v44b10 uses pcap(3) and complains about timestamps jumping 
backwards.  Looks like a PF_PACKET socket doesn't receive the packets 
in the correct order.  Some timestamps from a "tcpdump -tt":

   RX:  1001465480.175100 [...] 
   TX:  1001465480.179111 [...] 
   RX:  1001465480.177315 [...] 
                   ^^^^^^
   TX:  1001465480.180514 [...]
   RX:  1001465480.179706 [...]
	   
Some more figures (obtained with a quick hack using libpcap-2001.09.25 
on two different machines):

   2.2.19:
        stats:    100000 packets received
                       0 packets dropped
        good:      90222 packets
        bad:        9778 packets
        max delta: 15850 usec

   2.4.1:
        stats:    100000 packets received
                       0 packets dropped
        good:      99538 packets
        bad:         462 packets
        max delta:   471 usec
    
Any plans to fix this in the kernel?  


Regards,
Joerg
