Subject: Re: What queues/buffers does tc-netem use?

Hello Hagen,

Could you please give me some example of such a tc command that would tell me the statistics? I am not sure what you mean.

Is there a way I can manipulate the internal rbtree queue size, please?

Thank you

Petr MOTEJLEK

netem uses his own rbtree based queue. You can use tc(1) to get
statistics.

Saddly there is no netem implementation documentation, but the source code
is straightforward. You may take a look:
