The N_As value describes the time a CAN frame needs on the wire when
transmitted by the CAN controller. Even very short CAN FD frames need
arround 100 usecs (bitrate 1Mbit/s, data bitrate 8Mbit/s).
Having N_As to be zero (the former default) leads to 'no CAN frame
separation' when STmin is set to zero by the receiving node. This 'burst
mode' should not be enabled by default as it could potentially dump a high
number of CAN frames into the netdevice queue from the soft hrtimer context.
This does not affect the system stability but is just not nice and
cooperative.
With this N_As (frame_txtime) value the 'burst mode' is disabled by default.
For testing or (preformance) measurements the frame tx time can be set to
zero by setting the frame_txtime value in the CAN_ISOTP_OPTS sockopts.
