Dear friends: I was analizing the HTB script at "The ultimate traffic conditioner", at the Cookbook, at Lartc. I have a very basic question: First, it is defined the root htb qdisc, as expected; then, it is defined the main (parent) htb class, with the total uplink as rate, also as expected; then, they are defined 2 child clases: first of them has also the total uplink as rate (!) and second, has the 90% of the total uplink as rate (!). So, sum of child classes equals to 190% of the total uplink (and parent) rate. Why is this done that way?? I understand it goes against basic (htb) shaping rules, and also, it seems ilogical. Wouldn't it be better to define rates, for example, 90% for bulk traffic and 10% for interactive traffic, both with 100% ceils (or only interactive) ?? I was looking for this answer for a long time, but it seems nobody has asked this before. Sorry if this questions sound stupid or too basic..... Thanks a Lot.
