Re: PacketSendPackets and latency

Hi David,
Disregard what I said about -d2. I thought you were trying to send data using --send-eth and similar using nmap.
Coming back to the problem at hand, from what I know with regard to npf, NPF_BufferedWrite() scans the buffer and then 
calls NdisSend to send the same. So, if the buffer has enough space, it should queue the data, send and immediately 
return. I have seen such errors only when we receive and send packets both at the same time, but I haven't sent 30Mb or 
seen issues which report the same. A quick question - Does Sending a smaller buffer cause the same 13ms delays? My 
guess is that its taking time to scan the buffer (assuming you are resetting the buffer contents), but I could be wrong.

Cheers,
Varunram
