After correcting the measurement semantics and running a three-step orthogonal isolation loopback (localhost → dual-NIC netns direct link → dual RS-485 crossover), the jitter is attributed to the test peer under these test conditions: board-side pure software stack 0.69 ms, physical NIC 1.02 ms, serial 4.15 ms (wire time about 70%); peer-side interventions such as the FTDI Latency Timer pinned the Windows bench’s measured lower bound at 45–50 ms, from which a reference timeout baseline is derived; a single gateway transaction consumes roughly 1%–15% of the end-to-end link budget — not a blocker.
