Is TC flow-aware?

Is TC flow-aware for individual flows (sessions) within a given class of
traffic?

For example, assuming 100Kbps allocated to a class and 100 simultaneous
active flows within that class. Will each flow get approx. 1K, or  will the
greedier
flows capture the lion's share of the 100K, leaving the others struggling to
go
through?

Conversely, when a queue fills up and packets from that queue must be drop-
ped, will TC drop packets from the greedier flows (that are most likely
causing
the congestion) or does it not distinguish between flows? In the latter
case,
which rules determine the packets that get dropped?
