Very sorry, my mistake, I do not see it any more, I do not understand what I did, now my pings are ~0.3ms, so all is well about that. Ping -f has no impact on the other pings (I must have dreamt it)
But I was doing all with ssh, forgetting about the ssh part when I did my experiments, so I did one more try, I run the following in the console interface of machine A: while (1) { tv.tv_sec = 1; tv.tv_usec = 0; select( 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, &tv ); tell_time(); } return 0; And I did a ping -f to machine A from the console of another uml machine B: I do not understand, and may be I am doing something wrong, but I get: 1202 1201 1202 1201 1202 734 621 630 624 616 704 when I ping -f from the console of B, the select gets faster, and I still get the completely blocked select when I ping -f from an ssh on B or from the host. Note: my consoles are in 2 screens inside an xterm. Sorry again for my previous errors, and hoping not to make some more. at least not on my home PC On Fri, 2008-04-04 at 10:44 -0400, Jeff Dike wrote: > On Tue, Apr 01, 2008 at 08:28:18PM +0200, vincent-perrier wrote: > > Another thing even more mysterious: > > A ping between A and B takes 3 ms average > > When A is the ping initiator, a > > "while [ 1 ];do ls;done" on B makes the ping > > take 0.3 ms, same thing if the load is done > > on the host!! > > > > Believe it or not, uml works faster on a loaded host! > > Is this with a recent UML?
