I've never actually used CBQ myself, but from the LARTC HOWTO: "CBQ is the most complex qdisc available, the most hyped, the least understood, and probably the trickiest one to get right. This is not because the authors are evil or incompetent, far from it, it's just that the CBQ algorithm isn't all that precise and doesn't really match the way Linux works." Are you just trying to achieve simple policing of the interface, or something more advanced?
