Hi Jarek,

Thanks for the hints! As far as I understand, HFSC is also implemented
as a queue discipline (like HTB), so I guess it suffers from the same
design limitations (doesn't span across multiple CPUs). Is this
assumption correct?

As for htb_hysteresis I actually haven't tried it. Although it is
definitely worth a try (especially if the average traffic grows), I
don't think it can compensate multithreading / parallel execution. At
least half of a packet processing time is consumed by classification
(although I am using hashes). I guess htb_hysteresis only affects the
actual shaping (which takes place after the packet is classified).

Thanks,

Radu Rendec
