Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:08:52 -0800 From: Vijay Subramanian <subramanian.vijay@...il.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@...tta.com>, Vijay Subramanian <subramanian.vijay@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH iproute2 2/2] netem: Fix 'reorder' section of man page The syntax used in the example on reordering in the manpage is inconsistent with the usage syntax. Moreover, the text does not describe the reordering process in the kernel correctly. This patch fixes these two issues.
