Subject: incoming packet latency in 2.4.[18-20]
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 11:45:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F8D6BB0.7060809@nortelnetworks.com> (raw)
There is an issue with incoming packet latency in the kernels mentioned.
It seems that if you send in a burst of messages, the amount of time it
takes to wake the listening process is dependent on the size of the
message burst. 2.4.18-2.4.20 all show this behaviour, 2.6 doesn't.
Some numbers for a udp message size of 2 bytes:
1 packet, average latency 12 usecs
10 packets, average latency 66 usecs
100 packets, average latency 477 usecs
Is this a known issue? Is there an easy way to fix this, or is it
something inherent in the 2.4 architecture?
Thanks,
Chris
