You still can use the same setup as I described. They can share the
bandwidth between each other, but there is a maximum. If they pay more, you
increase the maximum:
root qdisc
bounded class with rate = 3meg
class for the 'manager' : rate = 384K
class for the other appartments : rate = 3meg - 348k
class 1 for appartment 1 : rate = 64k
class 2 for appartment 2 : rate = 64k

I suppose you mean "What do I if I wish to follow the HTB".
Indeed, you will have to download the kernel source and iproute and patch it
for HTB. But that's not so difficult. Maybe that
redhat allready prepatched his kernel for htb, I don't know.
