Subject: [LARTC] Does NIC Speed / Capcity & Link Bandwith are same?

Hi,

I want to clarify the above.

1. If i run "ethtool eth0" on my system, it's showing Speed: 10Mb/s.
The ethtool is using the ioctl SIOCETHTOOL.

2. I've written some other program, which uses SIOCGIFINDEX ioctl,
Then this program is giving the Link Bandwidth as 6 (may be in Kbps).
The same program is giving the Link Bandwidth as 2 on my other 
collegues' systems.

Conclusion:

Shall i treat the '1' as the Device  Bandwidth & '2' as the Rate (max 
allowable per user)?
with  regarding to CBQ.

So, anybody please do make me clarify.

regards,
Srikanth.
