Hello,
I did some measurements using Dummynet. It was just to see how
it works. Tests are made with 0,7MBit stream (each 429Bytes Packets),
5,10,15,25,50 and 75 MBit.
I tried a delay of 10ms for the testing connection.
The tests were done with a Smartbits6000 with the capability to
record the difference between sending and receiving a packet.
Each test had a 8192 packets.
The result show a strange behaviour, depending on the data rate.
_
| | vs. /\
0.7MBit - 15MBit: diffuse, fairly hig variance from 9.5 - 10.3ms
25 MBit: between
50MBit - 75MBit: very sharp, extreme precise, delivers a nearly 10ms
(variance not calculated yet ... to be done ..)
I am now a bit confused. Is it a matter of scheduling?
Maybe too much fairness for such tasks :)
Or is it some kind of prediction in dummynet which favours
high data rates. I think I've seen something like that for packet
loss in dummynet.
Any opionions appreciated. Maybe I did something wrong
and forget to set some sysctl properly.
with kind regards,
Jochen Kaiser
