Re: [dpdk-dev] ieee1588fwd.c implementation

Hi,

I'm using the Intel NIC 82547L.
Furthermore I'm using DPDK-2.0.0, the last stable download from the 
official homepage.

Is there any method to "measure" the time the NIC takes to process the 
packet from the input port (e.g. port 0) to the output port (port 1)? 
Should be around 8 to 40 microseconds depending on the packet size?

Thanks. Best regards,
Stefan.
