Re: How to best rate limit and employ fq_codel or cake as a small ISP

It's been a while since I did this but I believe that you can have fq_codel as htb subclasses. I once did some experiments where I had fq_codel inside of drr inside of htb. It never went into production but it did seem to work: http://altheamesh.com/blog/dev-update-2/ (scroll down to the "traffic shaping" section).

Also, when experimenting with this stuff, I can heartily recommend CORE, which is a network simulator made by the Navy: http://altheamesh.com/blog/using-core-for-network-simulation/

In the next few weeks I will need to design a TC setup of my own, so I may give your problem a try while I'm in the TC mindset.
