Please make sure to use `time_uptime' if you need monotonic timestamp.  
Especially many network stacks seem to make sequence IDs and 
timestamps to expire from `time_second' instead of time_uptime.  
time_second is not guaranteed to be monotonic!  time_uptime is.

I was almost tempted to do `sed -i -e 's/time_second/time_uptime' 
net*' (with few exceptions) but I wasn't sure how many standards 
really demand time_second in their actual packets/cells. :-(
