Re: [PATCH iproute2] Re: HTB accuracy for high speed

[Antonio Almeida <vexwek@gmail.com>]

I tested it with BFIFO using limit 6875000. (Analyser keeps sending
950Mbits/s of 800 bytes tcp packets - lots of drops for sure)
Backlog is now huge but the throughout stays much higher than the
configured ceil.
