I was talking about the rate. The ceil must be 128kbit/s so they can bor= row=20 up to 128kbit/s. =20 > And the problem is that (and you as well) I > want 128kbit/s go to class E in case D and F are idle.

I would like to receive more feedback on this. That's no problem IF you follow some basic rules. You can find them on=20 www.docum.org on the faq page. You have to see the ceil as a maximum of = the=20 class. And the rate as a minimum bandwidth and a "divider". =20 The other problem is the parent rate and ceil. I did some test and I hav= e=20 strange results. I still have to find a way to find out how you can=20 configure the parent rate and ceil to get a good setup.
