The only info I have is: Each dropped packet is overlimited.=20 overlimits : Packet is not sent due to ceil or rate restrictions=20 So there was too much data in the class. But don't believe this too much. I= t=20 depends on how often the qdisc looked for packets. This counter is=20 incremented per unsuccessful DRR loop and it's possible that this happens=20 more then once per packet.=20 >From http://www.docum.org/docum.org/faq/cache/33.html Stef --=20 stef.coene@docum.org =A0"Using Linux as bandwidth manager" =A0 =A0 =A0http://www.docum.org/ _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
