Kernel Instrumentation

[1] Packet timekeeping as it goes through the kernel using IPMP ideas
   I'm still working on this. I didn't finish it yet.

[2] NIC interrupt coalescing - I can remove it completely or set a constant
value through the Linux NIC interface (using insmod). However, does anybody
know how to set up SPECIFIC Intel NIC configuration parameters in FreeBSD and
Windows? I read that one can setup some NIC parameters using ifconfig in
FreeBSD but how can someone set "AbsTxIntDelay" - a very specific Intel NIC
parameter, for example?

[3] Reorganized the CVS at sourceforge.

Next Week

[1] Results from the Packet timekeeping implementation
[2] I was wondering if I change the PCAP under Windows to use TSC and thrulay
under Windows. Then using Ethereal and capturing the packets as they reach the
thrulay could I capture partially the internal delays (ip queue and stuff)
under Windows? Let me know about your thoughts. I'm going to install Windows
XP in my testbed.
