Hello,
I need an advize of network subsytem gourus....
I'm running uClinux 2.4.19 on 24Mhz on ATMEL AT75C310 (ARM7TDMI)
processor (without cashes) with 16Bit DRAM attached
The BogoMIPS is 4.59. HZ = 100
I have very strange phenomenons
1. The ping over "lo" driver is slower then ping over 8390.c based ethernet
interface.
2. The RTTs reported by ping are extremely high :

I've hacked ping utility to show between parenthesis the RTT calculated when
using the result
if SIOCGSTAMP ioctl after reading the incoming packet in addition to normal
behaviour when it uses
gettimeofday syscall.
As you can see there is big delay between the times when packet arrives into
kernel input queue and
the time it is read by application.
What is strange that other uClinux users running on CPUs with similar
processing power does not report
such kind of delays.
Any idea about what happens here and what can be done about it?
Please CC me the responces
Thanks
