I have a question regarding how HTB choose to send a package when the rate is almost reached. What I would like to know, is how HTB solve this; The class rate has not yet been reached. When htb now dequeue the next package, rate would be crossed. The next package is smaller than the quantum parameter. Would HTB delay this package, or just send it? If latter, then HTB is able to cross its configured class rate without any borrowing.. Hence send at its full speed until the bucket is emptied. Does HTB has any bucket containing unused tokens like token bucket? Or does HTB only accumulate tokens at its configured rate, while unused token are dropped?? Thanks in advance Lars _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/

All it cares about, is whether the limit is exceeded or not. It is not, so off it goes... There isn''t much difference in such small number of bytes...
