Hi, for HTB you can do this as follows: root (rate = 500k) | +-1:1 SSH leaf (rate = 50k, ceil = 500k) | \-1:2 other inner node (rate = 450k, ceil = 480k) The ceil for second node will prevent it to use whole bw and 20 is always reserved for 1:1's use. See below for CBQ. > Lets say I wanted to allocate 50kbps to SSH traffic, but I didn't want > to set it all as isolated.

Should this work? > > root > \---1:1 SSH traffic (50k) > | \--11:1 SSH traffic (20k, isolated) > \---1:2 Other traffic (remaining) Here you has problem. You can't assign traffic to 1:1, only to 11:1 (is it another qdisc !?). Isolated class will not lend its bw bot also will not borrow ! So that 50k from 1:1 will never be reached. I'm not sure whether it is solvable with CBQ. devik
