[LARTC] Missing parameter descriptions

[LARTC] Missing parameter descriptions

[Marko Buuri]

I've been looking for descriptions of qdisc parameter "estimator" and u32 
parameter "police" (defined by POLICE_SPEC), but in vain. I hope someone on 
this list can explain these.

Thank you!

Have you seen :
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.adv-filter.policing.html
with examples for 'police'
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.synflood-protect.html
and
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.ultimate-tc.html

I'm not sure where examples are of 'estimator' usage.

Thank you for replying!

I find that POLICE_SPEC (term from tc command syntax, not found in the
HOWTO) isn't very well or perhaps clearly documented. I figure the first
page you sent is trying to say is that the syntax is more or less:

POLICE_SPEC = police [buffer [buffer] | maxburst [maxburst]] [mtu [mtu]
| minburst [minburst]] [mpu [mpu]] [rate [rate]] (continue | drop | pass
| reclassify)

However, the examples you sent are using parameter "burst" not listed
above. A novice as myself can find learning Linux traffic control a bit
confusing with this kind of discrepancies between the HOWTO, the command
syntax and the man pages.

If someone else here knows, please do tell.
