    It seems that the minimal delay introduced by WANem when emulating latency is few milliseconds (when delay is configured to 1ms, the measured roundtrip latency is about 4-5ms).
    Is it possible to achieve lower (but not zero) latency more accurately? e.g., roundtrip of 2ms?

    Thanks,
    Alex

      To cut a long story short my investigation led me to a line in /boot/config-2.6.24.4 in the WANem cd which says

      "# CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is not set"

      The CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS  option is suppposed to enable high resolution timers.

      Once this is set it shd be possible to get better accuracy. I am looking for an easy way to do this. Will post as soon as I get anything.

        Thanks for looking into this - sounds promising!
        Does this mean that recompiling the image with this flag set might potentially solve the problem (and maybe even allow specifying sub-ms delays, which seems to be possible syntax-wise)? Anyway, looking forward to your update.

        Thanks,
        Alex

    Hi!

    Could you tell me what's the minimum latency that can be simulated by WANem v2.3?

    Thanks a lot!
