LARTC - Jan 2006 - HTB prio question

Hello

Is the prio specification in the htb class global or is it on a per class
basis? A simple example:

class 1:10 parent 1:
class 1:130 parent 1:10 prio 3

class 1:170 parent 1:10 prio 7
class 1:171 parent 1:170 prio 1
class 1:172 parent 1:170 prio 2

Which class will get excessive bandwidth first? 130 or 171/172?

Thanks.

I haven''t tested it, but from my understanding, it should be 1:130.

Children classes should not be able to borrow from the outside 
by themselves - they can only tell their parent to borrow for 
them, so it''s 1:130 (prio 3) vs 1:170 (prio 7) here.
