Try again: Hi netdev, We're working on some TCP networking stuff where the key is low latency -- in other words, we don't really care about data throughput, but rather getting the end-to-end TCP packet transfer time down. I know there's quite a few networking folks and kernel hackers on this list, so I thought I'd see if anyone was interested (or knows someone who might be interested) in doing a few hours of consultancy work to give us some pointers on this. I'm a competent programmer, but kernel-level network programming is not my area of expertise. I'm happy to receive some pointers via this list -- and others might benefit from that too -- but I'm also keen on some dedicated consultancy hours if anyone's interested. Thanks, Ben.
