There's a grammar error and a style error, here. I'm actually not
entirely sure what
the intended meaning is, so it's a bit hard to fix the grammar error.
Looking at the code, it seems that in burst mode, extra data will be
allowed to be sent, though
it is capped to not exceed the pipe bandwidth.
Perhaps "... bytes of data is allowed to bypass the dummynet scheduler
(...), though
the transmission rate will still be capped so as to not exceed the
pipe's bandwidth."?
The style error is that the new sentence ("Effective burst size ...")
should start
on a new line.
I would also prefer to see the new sentence be an actual complete sentence
(i.e., "The effective burst size is calculated as follows"), though
there appears
to be at least one other bug of this form in the file already (see,
for example, the
quoted text at the beginning of this hunk: "Default value is no delay.", which
would benefit from a "the".)
Unrelated to this commit, there is a grammar error early in the file:
312 Once
313 .Fl p
314 has been specified, any additional arguments as passed on to the preproc
essor
315 for interpretation.
The 'as' in line 314 should be 'are'.
(This is from CVS r1.220, so the line numbers may not be current.)
