Hi Bruce thanks for giving time on this issue.
I am working on an embedded system with imx50.
Server i'm using is RaspberryPi. Both the machines are connected on same
network.
Yes the system is a bit loaded. So this might be the reason.
But if I reduce the window size then bandwidth also reduces and the time
interval issue disappears.
But with bandwidth of ~45M (which is the max it is showing) then it starts
giving time interval issues.
One more thing, I tried with iperf as well and its not giving any such
issues on same machine with same server.
