Is this working on 32bit kernel ?

I have no idea why you include so many people on your mails.

This looks like ATM link have real rate of 48/53 of the rate.


Since we have to distribute a new tc version, why not doing

"tc ... rate rate X ceil Y linklayer atm"

->

"tc ... rate  X*48/53 Y*48/53"

It avoids hard coded values in the kernel.

Or make it use STAB if people really want to count bits/cells instead of
bytes.

Lets try to keep this overhead out of the fast path.
