Cbq needs to know the NIC bandwidth for the internal calculations. If you
have 10Mbit nic, you have to specify 10mbit. This is just for the
calculations. Htb does not need this.

You need to use htb or cbq for it. And you don't need the tbf to throttle the
bandwidth. You can throttle the bandwidth of a class with htb or cbq itself.
The classes are not reponsible for sending the packets, it's the qdisc
attached to them that do this job. So all packets in the class, will get
sended by the qdisc, so you don't need a filter to do this.
