Is there any way to get an approximate amount of time that has elapsed
since a timeout has been scheduled? Or better yet, a way to pause a
timer? This is extremely useful for backoff periods in MAC contention
protocols. Where, for instance, the timer is only decremented when the
channel is considered idle. The best method would be a way to pause it.
The alternative would be to find the time passed, cancel it, and then
when the channel becomes idle to schedule another timer with the amount
of remaining time.
After checking mb_mblock.h, I don't think any of this is readily
available... can either of these can be simply implemented? If so, can
you pass along some advice? :)
Thanks!
George
