\section{Needed operating system functionalities}
+An TAO ORB can only schedule its CORBA requests correctly, if the underlying operating system has an priorization based scheduler, with a defined maximum scheduling latency. The timer and scheduling latency of a linux system can be determined with cyclictest. For example, the worst case latency on a RT\_PREEMPT enabled box is $26 \mu s$. The same test, on the same box, but with RT\_PREEMPT disabled is $39.6 ms$.
+
+The operating system should support priorization of device i/o data. The real-time application must not beeing interrupted by incomming traffic on any device, excepted data the real-time application must react on (e.g. digital inputs). On a RT\_PREEMPT enabled linux, the most part of all ISR\footnote{interrupt service routine}s are done in kernel threads, which can be priorized from userspace. This solution has two little cons: IRQ sharing and the softirqs for networking. IRQ sharing prevents from a real per device priorization. The softirqs for networking handle the traffic of all NICs in the system. So the priorization of network data from a specific device is not possible. But in case real-time networking gets more and more important, the community works on a solution for this issue.
