Say the original packet is 100 byte, cellsize is 40 byte: three full size link
layer frames are required: 40 + 40 + 40 == 100 + 20. This is used for TDMA,
ATM or slot schemes where the remainder cannot be used.
Later in code carry is reused if cell overhead is configured.
>Also you use a lot of divides... Probably OK for netem...
I know, but
1) the branch is not hot (not taken at all if rate is not called)
2) cell_size could not restricted to a power of two - so I saw no real
optimization potential.
