I'm seeing an odd thing with the e100 driver. It seems to be this way
with the 2.4 series and with 2.5.68, and I couldn't find anything with a
search.
I've attached a small program to measure latency of round-trip time on
UDP. If I send 85-byte packets between two of my machines, I get 170us
round-trip latency. If I send 86-byte packets, I get 1329us latency.
This seems quite odd. If I test on the eepro100 driver, I get expected
linear increase in round-trip time as the packet size increases, and it
never gets close to 1300us.
To run the program, do:
./ip_lat -s <port>
on one machine to run the server, and then do
./ip_lat <server IP> <port> 1000 85
to send 1000 85-byte packets from another machine. Change the 85 to 86
to see the latency go up.
