Package: iproute
Version: 20080725-2
Severity: important

When using htb for traffic shaping, some classes do not report a quantum.
The shaping can be disproportionate across the classes, regardless of the 
quantum or r2q parameter used.

Example:

1:1 rate 100mbit ceil 100mbit
1:2 parent 1:1 rate 20mbit ceil 48mbit
1:3 parent 1:1 rate 20mbit ceil 80mbit
....
1:6 parent 1:3 rate 179kbit ceil 4mbit <-- this class reports no quantum and 
ignores it
1:11 parent 1:6 rate 143kbit ceil 4mbit
1:12 parent 1:6 rate 26kbit ceil 4mbit
...
1:23 parent 1:6 rate 45108kbit ceil 80mbit

sharing between 1:6 and 1:23 is disproportionate. 1:6 gets over 1/100th of the 
bandwidth when both classes are over their rate.
