The negative values of tokens and ctokens that can be seen frequently are because of the hysteresis setting? Also, I have some trouble understanding the tokens/ctokens example on www.docum.org. First, I would suggest that you add an additional bullet specifying initial conditions more explicitly. I suppose that the burst bucket is filled up when the 200bps transmission starts, am I right? Second, it would be useful to state what ceil the example class has since bursting is limited by ceil as we agreed before. Without knowing the class' ceil it's hard to say at what speed the first <burst> bytes will be released to the network - which is what the other calculations depend on. > I use the ethloop from Devik.

That brings up a question: what happens if the parent, say 1:20, has its own parent, say 1:10, and the 1:10 has already been overlimit. In other words, class 1:10, already transmitting at its ceil speed, has a child 1:20 that breaks its ceil because one or more its own children are bursting. Unevitably, 1:10 is forced above its ceil too, right? If that is the case, the state of being "overceil" will spread all the way up the class hierarchy to the root class? > I had a hard time finding the directory where I stored my files :) > But I found it. Now I have to figure out what I wanted to document :) Oh, don't feel pressed, take your time, it's been a long time coming anyway. ;-) pvl
