It can be recvfrom only problem - syscall overhead on my p4 (core duo, debian testing) is bout 300 usec - to test I ran read('dev/zero', &data, 0) in a loop. Could you try to hack recvfrom() for your socket to always copy some empty buffer and check the results without waiting for packet? If you are not hurry I can test it myself tomorrow. -- Evgeniy Polyakov - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
