Re: [Devmon] Devmon bursts

[Mario A. P. <row...@gm...>]

Hello Buchan,

My output is more spreaded now. The combination of the devmon.cfg parameters
plus the lqueue of bbproxy made the number of packets and the output traffic
more flat.

I have a doubt, with the cycletime  = 300, the best configuration for
deadtime is 600 hundred and above, right?
Could you give me an explanation of the deadtime number?  I didn´t get the
point yet.
What about the V3 version that I´ve sended to you? On my system is running
very good, I run both devmon versions separated without problems.


Thanks in advance,

Mario.
