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.

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

If someone else here knows, please do tell.
