"Priorizing traffic has two sides. First it affects how the excess 
bandwidth is distributed among siblings. Up to now we have seen that 
excess bandwidth was distibuted according to rate ratios. Now I used 
basic configuration from chapter 3 (hierarchy without ceiling and 
bursts) and changed priority of all classes to 1 except SMTP (green) 
which I set to 0 (higher).
 From sharing view you see that the class got all the excess bandwidth. 
The rule is that classes with higher priority are offered excess 
bandwidth first. But rules about guaranted rate and ceil are still met."
