STRUCT GNET_ESTIMATOR(9)

💖 struct gnet_estimator(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this page is all about struct gnet_estimator, and it's giving tiny iconic config-struct energy. no cap. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct gnet_estimator — rate estimator configuration. that's the whole vibe, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the struct in all its glory, copy it exactly:

struct gnet_estimator {
    signed char     interval;
    unsigned char   ewma_log;
 };

the field types are literally signed char and unsigned char, so don't go changing them up. 🫶

👯 Members 👯

• interval — sampling period. that's it, that's the member.
• ewma_log — the log of measurement window weight. not me being obsessed with a logarithm field. 😭
