Following up on my previous email, thinking about this some more: I'm guessing that we are sending the USRP2 more data than it can handle, it is sending pause packets back, which when RX is ON, the ethernet card recognizes and slows down its output (not knowing anything about gig-e control flow bu

That's very interesting... just this morning we were playing with turning rx OFF with ethtool and convincing ourselves that it seemed to stabilize our system. If we turn off RX pause (ethtool -A eth0 rx off), does the USRP2 stop sending pause frames? We are running two USRP2s connected with a MIM

You should make a hier2 block that has a gr.message_source inside of it. You can put data you read from the serial port into a message queue. (internally) The message sink will pop items off of the queue and into a gnuradio stream. Take a look in grc/grc_gnuradio/blks2/* for example. Several o
