While playing around with packet sockets I stumbled across the following strange
thing:

Ring Slot Checksum Timestamp
The program runs under Linux-2.4.17 on machine A and looks for packets of type PACKET_OTHERHOST
coming from and going to machine B. For all incoming tcp traffic of machine B, each packet appears
in the mmapped packet ring twice. The ring slots are adjacent and the checksum is the same.
Only the timestamps differ slightly.
Can someone explain this behaviour?
