I don't have the command that creates clasqs 1:1, but if you have a 128kbit
connection, you have to take 120kbit or so for the maximum bandwidth. You
loose some small amounts of bandwidth, but that's needed. Otherwise it can
be the modem or router that's shaping and not your firewall. Try it with
100kbit and raise it untill your box is not shaping anymore.
If you add a class, you don't provide a ceil parameter. So ceil = rate. So
the classes can never borrow bandwidth to each other.
And regarding to 1., htb assumes that the sum of the rates of the child
classes is <= the rate of parent. You don't have to follow this rule, but
htb will work better if you do.
And if the qos box is natting, you can't use the src address on eth2 because
the source address of the packets is natted to the address of the qos box.
