That's download traffic we're talking about, since you seem to be 
shaping on your local LAN interface? Variable rate ISPs are tough
to shape right, I guess...

Does this 115kbit vs. 1mbit thing solely depend on ISP load, or does it 
depend on day of time? In the latter case, I'd let a cron job replace 
the HTB class structure, so that you have 115kbit ceil during the day 
when you really only get 115kbit and 1mbit ceil during the night when 
you actually get 1mbit.

But I guess it's not that easy, huh?

You have a 100mbit line, of which you only allow 1mbit to be used (Why 
make a 100mbit class then?). Unknown traffic (LAN, most likely) goes to 
class 1:22 (Why? Shouldn't only ISP traffic go there?). There is no 
distinction between ISP and LAN traffic at all... does that mean that 
there is no other traffic than ISP from/to your HTB box?

Does anyone know how HTB performs on such a line? My guess would be that 
HTB doesn't have a clue that there are actually only 115kbit, and thus 
will allow classes to borrow too much, letting other classes starve.
