Those are qdisc specific statistics. borrowed may even have a different unit depending on your compile time options. What particular qdisc are you refering to? > How do I obtain the actual rate used for a class - as opposed to the > assigned rate?

You may specify whatever time interval you prefer. Note: the rate estimator uses sent statistics which are counted in enqueue, therefore no borrowing taken into account. > the lended and borrowed stats refer.

In HTB yes, CBQ can also count in bytes. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
