[Freeswitch-users] best freeswitch timer

[Ken Rice]

<SNIP> we don¹t need all the previous messages on this thread

What you need to know is that if you are using a kernel with timerfd support
you do not need to do anything to use it, the Core will figure it out
automagically and use it. This means main line kernels 2.6.22 and later and
you are good to go.

Doing a show timer on your FS console will reveal something like this...
This is showing us the CORE_SOFTTIME_MODULE is being used for timing. The
Core Timer uses timerfd

freeswitch at devnode>show timer

type,name,ikey
timer,soft,CORE_SOFTTIMER_MODULE

1 total.

If your kernel does not have timerfd support, then the old core soft timer
is used... 

I¹ll look at a small patch so you can know for sure, but, if your kernel
supports timerfd and you see CORE_SOFTTIMER_MODULE as the timer, you are
using timerfd
