Don't know the context of this statement, but from my (naive) point of view, TBF is not a user space program. The user space program is tc, and it just sets up structures in the kernel once. The shaping itself is done in kernel space. > So, how do we reliably calculate the minimum value for buffer/burst/maxburts? Trial & Error, not that I ever had much luck with TBF though... TBF doesn't really depend on the HZ value - you don't really need to know. Still, TBF is affected by the HZ, like many other parts of the kernel too. It can't be helped - dunno what else to say about it.
