&lt;P&gt;I presently use TBF with this syntax:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:100 tbf buffer=15000/8 LIMIT=30000 MTU=1500&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;parent class is a cbq with rate=128Kbit&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;when I want to add PEAK, I&amp;nbsp;get&amp;nbsp;always RTNETLINK error: Invalid argument. Maybe be I don't understand this parameter. What I know about it, it's that it can control short-term burst traffic, and it's what I need to do.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
