    I work as network administrator in a dept. from a bigger company, and I want to limit traffic in the night down to 160Kbit, without disrupting comunication with peers from the entire company. To make my self clear, the company has 2 class C networks, 1 for our dept, and the other for the rest of the company. So, I want to limit traffic to the Internet, but the traffic to the other class C won't be limited. Also another requirement is to limit all the day traffic like Morpheus, Kazaa, and stuff like that. The traffic should look like: internal to the company, no restriction. Peer2Peer traffic, 100Kbit day, 60Kbit in the night, Rest of the traffic not limited in the day, 160Kbit in the night. Also, if possible, traffic from the outside shouldn't be disturbed at all, any time (handled by root class).
    If I set the 130 class, without the TIME parameter, it won't limit the traffic in the night, despite the fact that the 130 class is a child for 128, which has the 160Kbit limit in the night and bounded. The 130 class has a sfq leaf, because I don't want a single user to hog the bandwidth.
    My questions are: why is the 130 class not limited to the bandiwidth of the parent? and second, should I do differently to get the same results?
    I've created several files with cbq.init like that:
