And there are no "different kernel/hardware delays" in the network? If your RTT measurement method cannot handle some variance (using standard sampling and data smoothing techniques similar to TCP) then it just needs to be fixed. Besides measuring in the interrupt handler doesn't protect you against local variances anyways because the interrupt timing has variability (e.g due to irq off regions or due to interrupt mitigation or higher priority interrupts) too > > Yes, but why ignore local scheduling delays? > > Because one would want to ignore even network scheduling delays > if possible... unfortunately in some instances it's not. The local delays add to the user experience too. It's unclear why you want to ignore those. -Andi -- ak@...ux.intel.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
