Do you know where quantum is used for? It's for classes that are asking fo=
r=20
remaining bandwidth. So if that "one voip user" is never asking for more=20
then the configured rate of its class, quantum is never used. So it really=
=20
depends on how you configured the classes to answer that question.
And taking a quantum of 10 byte is not "wrong". But if you send 1000byte a=
nd=20
your quantum is 10byte, htb will use 10byte in it's calculations. So it ca=
n=20
disturb the setup, but nothing bad will happen.
