It depends on what you want to achieve. You create a very complicated setup
with 3 qdiscs. If you only want speed up ACK, and other traffic, you can do
this with 1 htb qdisc only. More qdiscs, means more queues so higher
latency, higher CPU usage.
It also depends on how mach traffic you put in the bands. If you only want to
speed up ACK, you can also use a htb class with a higher priority.
So it just depends on what you want to do. Maybe there is a cleaner solution.
