Presently I'm running setup with 200 queues (200 RED leaves and 200 u32 classifiers), Thus basically a seperate queue for every individual in my organization. Ya I never knew about the dependency of throughput on active flows. I'm planing to go for 400 queues. Sometime before Documentations on Devik's home page stat that RED is not going to work with HTB and will simply eat CPU cycles. I couldn't locate it now anywhere?

But ultimately its going to limit on byte transfer, isn't it? -- Sumit
