Dear Russell:

I have a question about the "tc filter ... police" command. This command is similar to the token bucket filter. Under Linux, ingress traffic can be redirected to an imq or ifb, then you can apply a tbf there.

However, tbf has an important parameter "limit", which is the size of the buffer for waiting packets, and it is different from the "burst" parameter. In the "tc filter ... police" command, there does not seem to be a "limit" parameter, and there's no document or discussions about it. Digging into the Linux kernel might be a bit difficult for me. So my question is what is the buffer size in this case?
