LARTC - Jun 2002 - Traffic shaping using HTB

Hello! everyone,
 
    For performing traffic shaping using HTB, is there a parameter to
define the queue or buffer length where packets get queued (once the
allocated bandwidth is being used up), instead of just getting dropped
(policed). For example, in TBF there is a parameter "limit". If the
limit parameter is greater than the burst size, then packets that do not
obey the token bucket meter get queued, so the traffic is shaped.
 
Thanking in advance
regards
Kaustubh

No. TBF has it because it is classless. In HTB you
can add child qdisc which can set the depth (e.g.pfifo).
