The "quantum" attribute of HTB is documented as: Number of bytes to serve from this class before the scheduler moves to the next class. Since v1.3.2-rc1~225 we compute what we think is the appropriate value and pass it on the TC command line. But kernel and subsequently TC use uint32_t to store this value. If we compute value outside of this type then TC fails and prints usage which we then interpret as an error message. Needlessly long error message. While there's not much we can do about the latter, we can put a cap on the value and stop tickling this behavior of TC.
