No, advbase is integer seconds between advertisements, advskew is
fractional seconds. Taken together, advbase and advskew are an 8.8 bit
fixed point number allowing you to specify advertisment intervals
between 4ms and 255.996s (in theory anyways, setting advskew to 240 or
above is used with preempting as a magic number).
Around line 610 of ip_carp.c:
ch_tv.tv_sec = ch->carp_advbase;
ch_tv.tv_usec = ch->carp_advskew * 1000000 / 256;
