If I can recall correctly, timerfd will be used automatically regardless in recent versions of FreeSWITCH if it’s available.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] CONFIG_HZ=1000 vs mod_timerfd -- preferred approach

Assuming that one has full control over the kernel configuration and FS build / config options, is there a preferred mechanism between the 2 for letting FS have access to high resolution timers, i.e.

• CONFIG_HZ=1000
• mod_timerfd

This was one step I missed in my FS setup, and I think it might explain the extremely choppy, broken, garbled announcement I hear when I call into my gsmopen EP via phone.
