Thanks for your references. I has been looking for an updated HTB script for over two years and has done my own version of experiments. Results were not good and I was about to give up.

No, limit 10 is a lot short. 50-100 is more reasonable for a fifo at these speeds. > sfq defaults would be fine fq_codel may need some parameters tweaking > for lower bit rates, though I haven't properly tested it yet, just > guessing from what man tc-fq_codel says. sfq is a pretty good choice at low bandwidths and on older versions of linux (particularly as fq_codel is heavily backported from linux 3.6 but not available everywhere). In addition to fair queuing, sfq has a hard packet limit iof 127 packets by default, which gives decent performance in the range of bandwidths below 10mbit. At rates below 3Mbit fq_codel needs a bit a tweaking we've discovered, basically it helps to have a "target" parameter > the cost of a single MTU's packet - e.g at 1Mbit, we tend to use a target of 15 and an interval of 150, .5mbit 30, 300. Above 4mbit target and interval are fine with the defaults. Changing the default quantum helps also at rates below 40Mbit - we use 300.
