I am using tbf to do rate limitation. i set the rate, burst and latency parameters for tbf. but when i start passing data i notice that there is an initial burst and then the rate goes down to the configured level. is this because tbf starts with a full bucket? thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Remember if you are looking at tc stats then they show enqueue not dequeue, so you would see the whole buffer filling, but the dequeue rate will be lower. Andy.
