As the kernel code says, limit is actually the amount of packets it can
hold queued at a time, as per:
static int netem_enqueue(struct sk_buff *skb, struct Qdisc *sch,
struct sk_buff **to_free)
{
...
if (unlikely(sch->q.qlen >= sch->limit))
return qdisc_drop_all(skb, sch, to_free);
So lets fix the description of the field in the man page.
