Ok, i have no objections in principle, but i fail to see the use of pps limiting. What does it model in a context (IP) where packets for sure are not constant size ? And does it make any sense when at the level where dummynet operates there is no knowledge whether or not packets will be fragmented by the interface ? Further, when i read the subject i was totally confused -- maybe it's just me but i have always used "bandwidth" and "rate" (without further specifications) as synonims. cheers luigi > In message <xzpd7xrno4q.fsf@flood.ping.uio.no>, > Dag-Erling Smorgrav <des@flood.ping.uio.no> wrote: > > What do people think about adding rate limiting to dummynet?
