Folks,

   after spending a lot of time experimenting with HTB, I found that
filters cannot be attached to HTB  classes...
The class hierarchy I use is the following (for my upstream internet link):

              PRIO (with priomap that sends everything by default to
class 1:3)
            /   |   \
           /    |    \
          /     |     \
       1:1     1:2     1:3
     PFIFO    PFIFO    HTB qdisc (default to 4:100)
   

The default class MUST be a leaf class.  A leaf class is a class with no child 
classes.  If no filter is matched, the packet is dequeued in the default 
class.  This means that no filter is tested so your packets ends in 4:100.  
The filters attached to 4:100 are never checked.

Stef,

  If I understand correctly, all filters related to the HTB leaf 
classes should be attached to the HTB qdisc.

  It would have been nice to attach filters to parent HTB classes...

Stephane.
