LARTC - Sep 2006 - HFSC statistic show question

after i use "tc -s -d class ls dev eth0" will show statistic data
about HFSC ,like this
   
  root@ubuntu:/home/shaper# tc -s -d class ls dev eth2
  class hfsc 1: root

  root@ubuntu:/home/shaper#
   
  but i''m doubt what is each field mean ?? such period, work ,rtwork 
  and what field are same like "rate" in HTB statistic command 
   
  thank you

You''re using a broken version of iproute (well, actually the kernel is
broken, but a new iproute fixes it).

The statistics mean:

period: number of times the class went to active state (no packets
queued -> packets queued)
work: number of bytes handled by real-time and link-sharing criteria
rtwork: number of bytes handled by real-time criterion
level: level in the class hierarchy

When using only linear service curves "m2" is the equivalent to rate.
