This makes me wonder: "Good old ping" had always been able to display the
delay between request and response.
As the message delay (token round-trip time)is also critical in corosync, I
wonder why the current delay cannot be displayed by corosync-cfgtool for
example. My expectation is that the delay will go up significantly when load
increases, and maybe manual "re-tuning" could be done before the infamous
"retransmit timeout" kicks in.
