Clarification on REQ Queue Syntax

According to the ROS manual and the built in syntax help, parameters
for a RED queue are defined in bytes.

red-limit – RED queue limit in bytes
red-min-threshold – Average queue size in bytes
red-max-threshold – The average queue size at which packet marking
probability is the highest

However in Winbox, it shows these parameters as being defined in
packets instead of bytes.

I’d favour the manual definition and mark it up to sloppy winbox
programming, but the built in RED queue type doesn’t make sense if it
really is in bytes. What’s the point of a 60 byte queue?

set synchronous-default name=“synchronous-default” kind=red
red-limit=60 red-min-threshold=10 red-max-threshold=50 red-burst=20
red-avg-packet=1000


So, packets or bytes, which one is it?
