From 3f2c23811dc66d396be514f2cf6a1ec99f387373 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner Date: Tue, 15 May 2018 21:49:55 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] tc-netem: fix limit description in man page As the kernel code says, limit is actually the amount of packets it can hold queued at a time, as per: static int netem_enqueue(struct sk_buff *skb, struct Qdisc *sch, struct sk_buff **to_free) { ... if (unlikely(sch->q.qlen >= sch->limit)) return qdisc_drop_all(skb, sch, to_free); So lets fix the description of the field in the man page.
