The graphs on that web page are actually the result of instrumenting the kernel. There are further instrumentation tests, the results of which are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/docs/impact_of_tx_queue_lenghts/
The problem is not in adding t_ipi, but rather in schedule_timeout which works at HZ granularity. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
