Proper use of Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit-Gigawords

[Kwesi Yankson]

Hi Nick,
Thank for replying.  Correct me if I'm wrong. From your answer, assuming I want 11GB of data, I need to set Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit to 3GB and Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit-Gigawords to 2 (that is 8GB).  That is speaking in simpler terms (with no 0C0000x@#$%^%) :)
If that is so, it mean Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit will be a "check" attribute whiles Mikrotik-Xmit-Limit-Gigawords will be a "reply" attribute".
How right or wrong am I so far?
