Hi,

What is the difference between the rate values you specify
in "tc class ... htb ... rate ..." and in "tc filter ...
police ... rate ..."?

The rate when used with htb will determine how fast the packets are dequeued.


Policers measure the (some kind of average) rate of traffic and act if over/under depending on setup. They do not queue and then release the packets at the rate.
