RE: Strange delay
Thank you for the comments. I installed the network time protocol to
synchronize the time among all the machines. Now MGEN works properly on
But I have to install MGEN on a solaris platform which is used to be the
receiver. But the binary file for solaris seems wrong. It cannot work. The
erro message is : "mgen syntax error: '(' unexpeted".
When I tried to compile the source code using the makefile.solaris, the
error occured again: "ld: ELF error : file ./solaris-libXpm.a : elf_begin :
format error elf-fmaq"
Is the libXpm.a wrong? How to compile the MGEN for the solaris system? Or
where cam I get the correct binary version?
By the way, it is Solaris 2.7 (INtel platform) installed on the PC.

I think MGEN works the following way:
* The sender writes a timestamp on the packet.
* The receiver compares the timestamp to its local time. The delay is
the calculation of the difference between the two.
So, if your delay is negative, you should chech that both machines
(sender and receiver) have the same local time. Simple, isn't it? :)
