Not stupid, but the wrong place. This is not the cbq.init discussion list.
Howerver some remarks. I think the esfq idea came from me. You can use if
you know why. So if you are not satisfied with cbq.init, try to create your
own script.
You can have the sfq "problem" if you add mutliple users in the same
class.
With the sfq qdisc, each stream (determined by src/dst and port/ip-address)
has the same opportunity to send something. The esfq qdisc can be configured
to only use the src address to create the streams so the each users has his
own little queue. And so they have the same chance to send something.
Or you can create 1 class for each user.
