The best you can do is following this rules and choose a good r2q :
- 1500 < rate_small / r2q
- rate_bigg / r2q < 60.000
with
- rate_small =3D smallest rate
- rate_bigg =3D biggest rate
Quantum is only used if you have 2 or more class fighting for remaining=20
bandwidth from the same parent. And with remaining, I mean that each cla=
ss=20
already received it's rate and that the parent has some bandwidth left.
