I don't know that it would pack them within a 100ns interval, but interupt coalescing in GbE and higher NICs can cause frames which were otherwise spread-out on the network to appear to the host to arrive at essentially the same instant. Their separation in the eyes of the host will depend on the speed at which the host processes them after being nudged by the NIC. rick jones -- Wisdom Teeth are impacted, people are affected by the effects of events. these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
