Hello, I'm interested in using freebsd in a 'not so realtime, but...' software project.
In our running environment there are a 3 processes that need high priority. The processes never need much cpu but they should be able to respond to network (tcp) activity within 10-20ms. I have a testprogram in C that sends ~24kB tcp-messages via a switched ethernet. Sometimes there is a ~250ms delay in receiving (or sending). This could happen after an hour or so. I've tried building a 5.3 system with PREEMPTION and the 4BSD Scheduler. It did not help. I've tried building a 6.0 current system with PREEMPTION and the ULE scheduler. It did not boot. I've tried this on a linux preemptive kernel and it works fine. Is the PREEMPTION option applicable for my problem? Should PREEMPTION work for the 4BSD scheduler?
