The company i work for makes high performance interconnect solutions for super computers. i'm working on a demo where we're sending data around a ring and i wanted to timestamp all the packets as it hits each node of the ring. the servers could be under some stress when this is running. i had a feeling what i wanted to do isn't possible, but i figured i'd ask some experts before i give up. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
