From: Bernd Eckenfels <ecki-news2002-08@lina.inka.de> Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 11:32:17 +0200 the SIOCGIFCONF used to take a lot of time, cause the buffer was increasing more slowly. Someone could try to use even more aggresive algo. or just use a bigger start value. I havent benchmarked it, but I guess it it the getting of all the protocol params which slows it. Or use NETLINK sockets which are built specifically to do these kinds of operations efficiently. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
