I did a small experiment by using Linux-tc
My question is what is the difference between Burst and MTU at Linux tc-htb
It seems that they have a same effect. They change a only burst value.
(we can see by using this command tc -s -s -d c ls dev <iface>
)
However, two page say differently.
1) HTB - Traffic control How to said
burst max bytes burst which can be accumulated during idle period {computed}
mtu max packet size we create rate map for {1600}
2) MAN tc-tbf page said
burst Also known as buffer or maxburst. Size of the bucket, in bytes. ...
mtu/minburst Specifies the size of the peakrate bucket.
Is it right that they have a different explanation but same effect?
Thank you for reading!
