Hello,

IIRC it is ok. The TCA_KIND is used as upper level ID. TCA_TBF_PARAMS
is in second level, it is contained as data of TBF kind. Take dump
of whole NL message and study carefully.
It is like:
TCA_KIND  "TBF"
TCA_XXXX {
  TCA_TBF_PARAMS ....
  TCA_TBF_XXXX .....
}
TCA_YYY ...

So that when rtnetlink_rev_msg parses message first time it skips
all occurences of TCA_TBF_*. q_tbf is given data part of TCA_XXXX
(can't remember name) and it calls rt parse function again on the
data.
