Yeah, I had seen this - but didn't want to duplicate something that Alessandro might already working on...
Alessandro - were you going to add out of order packets?
If the code has chances to go mainline, I'll be happy to complete this task.
In the past - Wolfgang has normally said that as long as it doesn't negatively effect his platforms (i.e. is a compile option that doesn't effect the size of the normal build) he is mostly OK with anything (within reason).
So unless I get a nak earlier, I'm going to find a time slot in the next few days (with your fixes, I suppose, or should they remain separate patches?)
Nah - roll them all together...
I'll send some comments to your earlier patch.
To make your host send out of order/delayed packets, which should be more "real world/long haul" try something like: # modprobe sch_netem (if it's not compiled into your kernel) # tc qdisc change dev eth0 root netem reorder 50% delay 10ms
Thanks a lot, I was missing that.

Some of the examples do not work, and the tc errors are pretty much meaningless - the man page is pretty thin, but the command line
"tc qdisc change dev eth0 root netem help"
might get you what you need to test things.
