Irqtune: some stats (was Fix for your serial/PPP problems)

1996-08-26 Thread Philippe Troin
I've done some statistics regarding irqtune and kernels 2.0.14 and 2.0.15. The protocol was the following: 1) ftp to my ISP 2) put a file 3) get the same file 10 times with a 'mget file file ' I timed only the 'GET', not the 'PUT' as Linux buffers outgoing packets and tricks the figures. Test

Could someone knowledgeable in low-level kernel matters take a look at the following? I looked at the Web page, and though it sounds interesting overall (and it WOULD solve a serial problem I experienced with Debian 1.1.1 and kernel 2.0.6), there appear to be some technical inaccuracies which give
