[LARTC] Excess Bandwidth

[Ronaldo Z. Afonso]

   Hi,

   I'm trying to configure QoS on my linux in the following manner:
   I have a main link with 64K, so I divided it in 3 classes of 18K, 14K 
and 9K with an excess (not used for classified traffic, just to be 
shared) of 23K. This excess should be distributed proportonally among 
the 3 classes,  that is, the class that has more rate should borrow more 
bandwidth. What is happening is just the opposite, the class that has 
less rate is borrowing more bandwidth. A representation of my 
"hierarchical class layout" is as follow:

                              root - 64K

         A - 18K           B - 14K            C - 9K

   I have read some documentation that says it should work exactly in 
this in way, but it is not happening in my environment. All the tests I 
did show me that the class with less rate is borrow more bandwidth.
   Can anyone help me?
