Stef, I ve tried just as you described earlier.. When using HTB qdisc, 10 hosts borrowing from the same parent results in unfairness. When host 1 open about 10 tcp connections, as soon as host 2 request for more bandwidth from parent, host 1 wont decrease the speed. But, when i only try to attach 2 hosts to the same parent, it succeed! Host 2 get the requested bandwidth even if host 1 start 20 connections. Could you analyze this for me ?
