Hello. I have questions about how exactly priorities work in HTB. I have read the documentation and different websites, but it still appears not really clear to me, especially that I do not observe the “right” behavior. I was trying to give an absolute priority to real-time traffic, but concurrent TCP traffic with lower priority was still sometimes taking over (even though its rate was limited to minimum so was getting almost nothing in the green mode since I know that queues in green mode are always sent before those in yellow). Thus I would like to ask how exactly the priority is treated in HTB. >From the documentation, I understand that in case of the same priority, the quantum and DRR is used. So no problem here. However, in case of queues with different priorities (but on the same level), how is it exactly divided? Does the highest priority send packets as long as its queue is full or also only for a given quantum? If it sends as long as its queue is full, how come the traffic with lower priority does not get stalled? Additionally, is this behavior the same when both queues are in yellow and in green mode (thus at parent and leaf level)? Thank you in advance for any help.
