If A uses 64kbit, the remaining 64kbit is split between B and C, and assuming there is a fair qdisc attached to 1:2, they should each get 32kbit. If B is inactive, both A and C will get 64kbit: their classes' guaranteed rates. If A is inactive, 1:2 will hit the ceil and B and C will share 128kbit, so each gets 64kbit. Doesn't that work out? Of course it's entirely academic, since it's not as if adding one extra rule makes it more complicated or less efficient in practice.
