36 /* Rusty: This is my (non-mathematically-inclined) understanding of
37 this algorithm. The `average rate' in jiffies becomes your initial
38 amount of credit `credit' and the most credit you can ever have
39 `credit_cap'. The `peak rate' becomes the cost of passing the
42 `prev' tracks the last packet hit: you gain one credit per jiffy.
43 If you get credit balance more than this, the extra credit is
44 discarded. Every time the match passes, you lose `cost' credits;
45 if you don't have that many, the test fails.
47 See Alexey's formal explanation in net/sched/sch_tbf.c.
49 To get the maxmum range, we multiply by this factor (ie. you get N
50 credits per jiffy). We want to allow a rate as low as 1 per day
51 (slowest userspace tool allows), which means
