So i am doing an experiment which adds a random delay to tcp flows to
achieve alot of the same stuff you get with RED and was planning on
testing it with a divert socket. The problem is sometimes this involves
adding a delay of say 2 ms for instance. Is this even possible on intel
hardware. I know that thier is almost no way to get ethernet to be that
accurate (I don't know about device polling maybe that will do it) but i
think adding this delay to outgoing packets before it hits the card
should add the entropy i am looking for.
I have a couple of questions:
1) How much delay will i encour by passing the packet out through ipfw
to a divert socket?
2) Does changing the HZ rate in the kernel actually cause ints to happen
faster? Will this help me?
