A sine-wave slew wouldn't work very well... a longer sample would detect it. For simplicity, let's say the value in the packet is a millisecond value. Then we do something like packet->timestamp = millisecond_now() + skew_offset; skew_offset += (int)((random() * 2) - 1); -Stewart "Very constants as needed" Stremler -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
