LARTC - Aug 2002 - HTB parent rates and ceils

Hello @all, hello Devik!

Whe have got a little confusion here. What of the following statements is true?

- The ceil of a class should always be at least as high as the sum of the rates
of its children.

- The rate of a class should always be at least as high as the sum of the rates
of its children.

Thank you!
Greetings, Nils

False
- The ceil of a class should always be at least as high as the maximum of the 
rates of its children : True
If you have a class with ceil 100 kbps and a child-class with a ceil 150kbps, 
the never be reached due to the ceil of the parent.

True
If you don''t respect this rule, the setup may work.  I have to check
this
with Devik to be sure.  But respecting this rule makes it easier to figure 
out how the bandwidth will be distributed.
