[etherlab-users] cycle frequency and unmatched datagrams

[Andreas Stewering-Bone]

Hello Juri,


Please note, the user space example is only a user space example. Let me 
explain. you have no realtime deterministic on a rtai system for an user 
space example. The programm is schedulded by the normal linux system. A 
normal debian kernel has a cycle freuency of 1000 Hz. If your process freq is 
equal or higher you will get problems. 

For RTAI examples, please have a look at the rtai kernel example.

If you use a rt-preempt kernel, you will get a proper system behavior for the 
userspace example.
