Hey all, Not sure if this should be asked within this mailing list or netdev, so please accept my appologies if it's in the wrong place. I'd like to know what the best way to go about "profiling" the linux networking code is. There are a few different methods of profiling the linux from applications suchs as OProfile and simply booting the kernel with the profile=2 option and viewing the /proc/ system, but i'm not sure which (if any) will do the tasks i require. Basically I want to profile and find out how long each stage of the network processing takes, for example, how long the TCP/IP processing takes (in softIRQ context?) and how long the hardware interupt takes? etc. Thanks for your help Matt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
