1. maybe I am not clearly describe this question.
what I am want to find out is why VALID_POLICING is still set when
kbits_rate equals to 0?
in openvsiwthc document, it says:
ingress_policing_rate: integer, at least 0
Maximum rate for data received on this interface, in kbps. Data received
faster than this rate is
dropped. Set to 0 (the default) to disable policing.
2. ok, for this RTM_NEWLILNK, i wil find it by myself.
anyway, thanks!
