Re: [ECOS] Regarding delays in UDP (ethernet) ISR

[Andrew Lunn <andrew dot lunn at ascom dot ch>]

If you are loosing UDP packets, its because your application cannot
keep up. This is probably because your network stack has higher
priority. So you are spending more time with the network stack
receiving packets from the Ethernet device than the application
processing packets from the stack. 

1.3 is very old. The FreeBSD stack in anoncvs is supposed to be a bit
faster. I suggest you try updating. If that does not give the
performance boost you need, try using the profiler thats part of
anoncvs. You can then find out what is taking all the CPU.
