Note to self: When the manpage says
As a non-blocking end-less loop in a process scheduled under SCHED_FIFO
or SCHED_RR will block all processes with lower priority forever, a
software developer should always keep available on the console a shell
scheduled under a higher static priority than the tested application.
it's not kidding.
My packet flooder misbehaves drastically when you tell it to run for more than about a minute. I'm hoping that sprinkling some magic real-time-scheduling-policy dust over it will help.
