Well according to a question just posted to the (new) LARTC mailing list, you can use HTB with a prio attached to one of the leafs. You could try that. I.e. have a single HTB leaf, with a prio below it. The HTB leaf will throttle your traffic, but I guess that the prio will allow any demand on that throttled link to be prioritised, which will then draw on the class above it as appropriate. Something like: tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root handle 1 htb default 5000 r2q 6 tc class add dev ifb0 parent 1: classid 1:3 htb rate 100Mbit tc qdisc add dev ifb0 parent 1:3 handle 5000 prio > <snip> > HFSC might not be a bad idea for you.
