Does someone have an advice for me?
ok, I guess the jitter you're talking about and the lost frames are two different problems. For the last one, please try to bisect the bus by plugging certain slaves out to see, if the frames are 'swallowed' by a certain slave. I experienced this some time ago. If this brings no difference, do you have the possibility to try another Ethernet adapter (perhaps another driver)? How are you measuring the jitter? What is your timing source? Do you use the kernel or the userspace application interface? -- Best regards, Florian Pose http://etherlab.org _______________________________________________ etherlab-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.etherlab.org/mailman/listinfo/etherlab-users
