PFIFO to contain more pkts than allowed by TCP peer?

[Daniel Schaffrath]

Hello everybody,

when the one and only connection originating my box is a TCP stream  
which is limited by the advertised window of my peer at - lets say -  
47 pkts, I would expect 'tc -s qdisc show' to show at most 47 pkts in  
the pfifo of the appropriate device. Unfortunately, this is not the  
case. It's around 83 (twice as much??). Anyone any hints how come?

Thank you,
Daniel
