[time-nuts] clock-block any need ?

I have used a commercial stack for 8 bit microcontrollers (Micronet CMX) and as is, it would be a bad choice for timing because of the time it spends processing  packets before deciding if they are for itself or not. It could be modified but you need a developer license to get the source code, and it starts at $15,000. I believe.

Hi

It's still an encapsulated stack that just coughs up the information after it's done this and that to it. How long the this and that takes is dependent on how busy the network is. It's going to watch packets on the net first and push data to the Arduino second. 

I'm beating on a similar part between posts. It *really* lags out as the traffic goes from near nothing to just a bit more than nothing. I'm not far enough into it to be able to put numbers on either measure. Looks like the units are in the thousands of bits per second range though.
