It's interesting work. There is one tertiary issue I've considered wrt. this kind of packet spacing. Consider a router that uses a routing cache like Linux does, or something similar, and when hits occur the hash chain member is moved to the front. Here, packet bursting can actually benefit performance by better taking advantage of the hash chain element having been moved to the front. It's just a consideration, and frankly in modern routers it probably is pretty irrelevant. Well... most modern routers don't use the classic FIFO/drop-tail policies which is what this patch is designed for. :-) - : 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
