Hi, One more of those ... 1) what is a ctoken with regard to HTB? Does the ''c'' stand for ceil and if so how is it different from tokens? 2) Is the difference, only in the generation of these tokens? 3) Would the ctokens and token be treated equally once borrowed? Kindly help. Thank you. Regards, suraj. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

If this is true, then my question ... would a child class borrowing a token from the parent class treat a ctoken and a token equally? Meaning, are ctokens & tokens qualitatively the same and different only in the fact that ctokens are used at ceil rate and at normal rate a token is used? I am sorry if I am confusing you, but I am terribly confused, and I am just trying to understand things better :) Thank you. Regards, suraj. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

So you can only send a packet when you have a token.> If this is true, then my question ... would a child > class borrowing a token from the parent class treat a > ctoken and a token equally?

Yes.> I am sorry if I am confusing you, but I am terribly > confused, and I am just trying to understand things > better :)I also have think hard about your questions :) And that hurts after sitting 3hrs in a traffic jam.
