I did pfifo with limit 10 and HTB started to work. I noticed drops and rate was OK. Sometimes (for 10-40 seconds) but seldom it worked bad (1:2 got less, than it should) but there wasn't drops during this time. I tried this also with 12kbit at it was similar.
If I good understand, there is something (TCP stack or what) whitch works BEVORE htb and this makes some connections slower or faster, so HTB has later nothing to do.
The question for me is: how can I set it (the mechanism bevore HTB) to give HTB full control over the bandwitch? I don't wont to use pfifo (not everywhere). I would like to use sfq for some classes.
Should I set specific parameter somewhere or set something in network configuration, or maybe recompile the kernel with a specific option?

Interestingly from what I see HTB didn't come into play. All drop and overlimits counters are zero. It seems that www server haven't managed to send more. Please try to add pfifo with limit 10 under both classes. Because you are sending from the same computer, your TCP stack uses send queue management which counts packets in qdisc and backs off. It MIGHT cause problems ...

I tried with 12, 20 and even with 30kbit for 1:3
I noticed, that it work for some seconds (or 1-2 minutes) but than the 1:3 class gets more then it should get :(.

I made a test with settings: ---------------------------------
tc qdisc del root dev eth0 tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1:0 htb default 3
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 128kbit ceil 128kbit burst 20kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:2 htb rate 98kbit ceil 128kbit quantum 4900 burst 20kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:3 htb rate 30kbit ceil 128kbit quantum 1500
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 1 u32 match ip sport 80 0xffff flowid 1:2

Description of the test: ------------------------ On the beginning it was everything OK, after 1 min, 1:2 lost his 98kbit. Than he got sometimes his 98kbit again and sometimes he got even 30kbit.
1. Can I do something more to find out what happen? 2. What does mean: "queues are build up" ?
