The rate estimator can match on estimated rates as collected by the RATEEST
target. It supports matching on absolute bps/pps values, comparing two rate
estimators and matching on the difference between two rate estimators.
.TP
\fB\-\-rateest1\fP \fIname\fP
Name of the first rate estimator.
.TP
\fB\-\-rateest2\fP \fIname\fP
Name of the second rate estimator (if difference is to be calculated).
.TP
\fB\-\-rateest\-delta\fP
Compare difference(s) to given rate(s)
.TP
\fB\-\-rateest1\-bps\fP \fIvalue\fP
.TP
\fB\-\-rateest2\-bps\fP \fIvalue\fP
Compare bytes per second.
.TP
\fB\-\-rateest1\-pps\fP \fIvalue\fP
.TP
\fB\-\-rateest2\-pps\fP \fIvalue\fP
Compare packets per second.
.TP
[\fB!\fP] \fB\-\-rateest\-lt\fP
Match if rate is less than given rate/estimator.
.TP
[\fB!\fP] \fB\-\-rateest\-gt\fP
Match if rate is greater than given rate/estimator.
.TP
[\fB!\fP] \fB\-\-rateest\-eq\fP
Match if rate is equal to given rate/estimator.
.PP
Example: This is what can be used to route outgoing data connections from an
FTP server over two lines based on the available bandwidth at the time the data
connection was started:
.PP
# Estimate outgoing rates
.PP

iptables \-t mangle \-A POSTROUTING \-o ppp0 \-j RATEEST \-\-rateest\-name ppp0
\-\-rateest\-interval 250ms \-\-rateest\-ewma 0.5s
.PP
# Mark based on available bandwidth
