That's not the actual problem.  At the moment, I'm working on my net2o 
project, and to measure time, I use utime (and am now changing it to 
ntime).  I'm not exactly copying Dan Bernstein's Chicago flow control 
algorithm, but the way he does it would limit the rate to 1GB/s in 1k 
packets with microsecond resolution.  This is a rate already achievable 
*today* with not too expensive equipment, so there needs to be something 
better to be future-proof.  Three orders of magnitude is good for about 
20 years, no longer. At least there seems to be a clock wall, getting 
the frequency up further beyond the 3-5GHz we had since the Pentium 4 
seems to be difficult.
