[LARTC] Problem attaching htb class to a htb qdisc

[LARTC] Problem attaching htb class to a htb qdisc

[Ruben Porras]

I'm trying to build a QoS system that would divide the outgoing traffic
into four categories, each one also subdivided into two more categories.
For that I chose a htb root qdisc subdivided into four classes, each of
these classes contains also a htb qdisc. Until these point everything
goes well, but when I try to attach a new class to the leaf htb qdisc a
problem with the sintaxis arises. Code follows:
        
        
        tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 1: htb default 30
        
        tc class add dev $DEV parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate
        ${UPLINK}kbit
        
        tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate
        ${UPLINK}kbit
        tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:20 htb rate
        ${UPLINK}kbit
        tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:30 htb rate
        ${UPLINK}kbit
        tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:1 classid 1:40 htb rate
        ${UPLINK}kbit
        
        tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:10 handle 10: htb default 12
        tc class add dev $DEV parent 10: classid 1:11 htb rate
        ${UPLINK}kbit
        prio 1
        
        RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
        
        tc class add dev $DEV parent 10: classid 1:12 htb rate
        ${UPLINK}kbit
        prio 2
        
        RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
        
        tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:11 handle 11: sfq perturb 10
        tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:12 handle 12: sfq perturb 10
        
        ...
        
If I attach the classes to 1: instead of 10: everything goes well, but I
do not understand why I can't attach a class to 10:
        
Any help would be appreciated.

Remember if $DEV is eth arp will go here.

If you want UPLNK to be the max then children need UPLINK/4 - the parent 
will not cap it. Use ceil UPLINK aswell if you want each to be able to 
reach max when other classes are empty.

This is strange, not sure if it's what you want - you don't need another 
htb here, though it is possible it's not normal. If you just want a 
child under 1:10 then do as you do below with parent 1:10, but remember 
parents don't cap rate of children.

If you really want htb under htb then classid 10:11 may work.
