| Description | The parameter C is the data backlog resulting
from the vagaries of how a specific implementa-
tion deviates from a strict bit-by-bit service.
So, for instance, for packetized weighted fair
queueing, C is set to the Maximum Packet Size.
The error term C is measured in units of bytes.
An individual element can advertise a C value
between 1 and 2**28 (a little over 250 mega-
bytes) and the total added over all elements
can range as high as (2**32)-1. Should the sum
of the different elements delay exceed
(2**32)-1, the end-to-end error term should be
(2**32)-1. |
