OK :)

I don't really catch up with you here. What's special meaning ?

Do you mean 'drop_overlimit' or 'overlimit' ?

fq_codel has both 'overlimits' and 'drop_overlimit' :

qdisc fq_codel 1: dev eth4 root refcnt 2 limit 10240p flows 1024 quantum 1514 target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms ecn 
 Sent 834 bytes 5 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 
  maxpacket 256 drop_overlimit 0 new_flow_count 0 ecn_mark 0
  new_flows_len 0 old_flows_len 0

Could you please explain more explicitly ?

Thanks very much!
