From the HTB manual: "The rate supplied for a parent should be > the sum of the rates of its children." > Hi Andy. The sum of my users' classes or leafs rate would not be equal to the parent's. They will never add up to the total root class since I will be adding rules every once in a while so, if my root total BW is 15Mbps and I have 100 users at 512kbps each then, that could be a problem.
