Dropped packets after changing queue size to recommended sizes...

[Martes Wigglesworth]

Greetings list.

I have implimented some of the suggestions from previous posts, with
some other things that I have found online.  I have noticed that when I
used the 256Kbit/s bw as follows, I get dropped packets, in my drp
section of pipe show.  Is this normal?  I noticed that without the
designation of queue size, I get no dropped packets.

Example:

pipe 1 config bw "" queue 10KB 
queue 1 config pipe 1 mask dst-ip 0xffffffff queue 9KB

As I asked, above,"Is this functionality common, within the parameters
of the queue/pipe/bw combination, that I have?"

I have also noticed that my ksim application indicates that the KByte 
bandwidth jumps to 31.5, or 32, which is calculated to 250 or 256.  The previously 
listed bandwidth is less than my 256 setting.  The bandwidth stays at 31.0 or less, and 
only sometimes jumps to 32.0. Any clarification on this is much appreciated.
