On leaf sc = rt + ls ie. rt upto it''s limit but able to go higher if
there is spare bandwidth to borrow with no rt guarentees.
On inner classes I guess sc is the same as ls.

Look at the picture on p10 of sigcom paper - I think d in (m1,d,m2) is x
which is either the same as d max or different depending on the shape of
the curve. Linux HFSC will convert (umax, dmax, rate) to (m1,d,m2).

I guess time moves on so vt on classes gets lower.

Hmm, for how long (bytes) does that burst happen with hfsc, what rates?
I know emperically that rt classes are sort of work conserving in the
Linux (and BSD?) implementations. The algorithm in the paper is
different and more non work conserving as I see it.

Burst is a buffer size so 12kbit=1.5kB slightly less than a 1500 byte
packet if shaping on eth (IPlen +14). Also the max rate of a backlogged
class is burst * Hz. On slow links setting burst < pktlen/low
doesn''t hurt.
