This would be my suggestion too.
The BCM tries to fulfill the TX cycle as precise as possible.
When Markus adds 12/13 TX jobs at a time these jobs are very close to each
other from CAN frame duration perspective. So the jobs trigger nearly at the
same time, generate a pile-up in the tx queue and the tx frames get dropped.
So you can try to stretch the BCM setup in the way that you don't get pileups:
- at creation time (wait between syscalls)
- by using the two timer values and switch after one frame to the wanted cycle
Or increase the txqueuelen - but you would still have a pile-up of frames
which is probably not wanted at the receiver too (processing time issues).

Oliver
