Re: tap interface apparently rate-limited to 1 packet per 12ms

FWIW this turned out to be a silly mistake on my side. "ping -f" rate-limits its output when it's not receiving any reply packets. Using a small C program to send a burst of UDP packets, there's no delay.

It appears pretty much coincidental that the ~10ms packet processing interval in dynamips is similar to the 10ms delay for ping -f sending packets (MININTERVAL)

Sorry for the noise :-(
