Well, given I get 29 us on a ping between two machines (Gb link, no
process involved on receiver, only softirq), I really doubt we can reach
5 us on a tcp test involving a user process on both side ;)
$ ping -f -c 10000 -q 192.168.0.1
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics ---
10000 packets transmitted, 10000 received, 0% packet loss, time 395ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.029/0.032/0.434/0.010 ms, ipg/ewma 0.039/0.033
ms
On loopback, its a bit better of course, but there is no cache miss nor
scheduler involved.
$ ping -f -c 10000 -q 127.0.0.1
