Changing burst will not remove the warning. r2q is "rate to quantum" is used
to calculate the quantum for each class : quantum = rate / r2q. Quantum must
be 1500 < quantum < 60000. Otherwise you will get warnings from the kernel.
Solution : choose r2q so for each class 1500 < quantum < 60000
Or choose the best r2q you can and specify the quantum manually if you add a
class.

Default r2q = 10.

Smallest rate : 16kbit = 2 kilobyt / r2q (=10) = 200. And this is < 1500. So
you get warnings.
Biggest rate : 100mbit = 12.5 mbyte / r2q = 1.2 Mbyte > 60.000. So you get
warnings.
If you do
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 10 r2q 1
Smallest rate : 16kbit = 2kilobyte / r2k = 2000. And this is > 1500. So no
warnings.
Biggest rate : 100mbit = 12.5 mbyte / r2q = 12.5 Mbyte > 60.000. So you get
warnings. But you can overrule the quantum :
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:11 htb rate 128kbit burst 2k
quantum 60000
Quantum is used when 2 classes are getting more bandwidth then the rate. So
it's only important for sharing the remaining bandwidth. In that case, each
class may send quantum bytes.
I hope this helps.
