to study the examples that are in your book ;-) I mean LDD3.
I tried to build the snull driver with 2.6.39 but it doesn't compile,
so I decided to work
on the same version of the kernel as the book does.

Patch was accept by David Miller in 2012. You can be absolutely sure
that IPv6 ECMP is in 3.12. :)

Measuring Network Packet processing time

2014-04-07 Thread Sunny
Hi all,

I’m running xen 4.2 on Linux Kernel 3.7 and I’m trying to figure out the time 
taken(latency) by a network packet to reach it’s destination VM from the time 
it arrives at the NIC. What do you think is the best way to do it? I was 
thinking may be add rdtsc timestamp to the IP options header on arrival, and 
one more when it reaches to its desired VM and examine the two timestamps. I’ve 
not figured out a way to do this yet—but do you think this is a viable option 
or what other methods would you recommend?

Thanks,
Sunny

2.6.39 is also really old, don't use it.

If you search around, there are updated versions of the examples online,
that work with the latest kernel releases, so I'd recommend using that.

good luck,

the same happens on a pretty old box, it should be from the early 2000s.

But I forgot to mention another thing:

I patched it with a patch for 2.6.11 to make it compile with binutils
2.22 (otherwise the assembler
would complain), and, although the compilation silently ends, it
probably messed up something.
I will look for the same patch for 2.6.10, or to downgrade my binutils.

Definitely human, I had my initial doubts, but I started being more
human and the replies the same :-)

For those interested, the patch is that one:
