Hi
No need for htb, simple tbf will do.

But if you are creating your own:
As i understand token bucket, you should take each packet from the end 
of queue in order they are there, i.e S1, S2, S1, S2, not just each 
other. When the bucket is full, you will drop every packet on input. It 
is unlikely that you will free space in buffer everytime right when S2 
packet comes... You would have buffer full of s2 then, not s1|s2|s1... 
as you say. Are you sure you are dequeuing from front and doing tail-drop ?

As i understand:
dequeue at constant 
rate<--que_front_s1,s2,s1,s2,s1,s2_que_tail<--enqueue input or drop

Maybe change in size of token could help mix this... How big is one 
token now? (i do not know how your tbf is implemented...)Can you give 
more details ?
By the way: how are you creating those streams, i think it is unusual to 
see such properly ordered packets of streams in real life ...

If i am completely out, sorry then, just beginner.
Best regards (default)
