[LARTC] HTB equivalent for 'bounded' and 'isolated' in CBQ

[Amit Kucheria <amitk@ittc.ku.edu>]

Hi all,

Sally Floyd's Link sharing paper defines the following:

1. Bounded class: class that is not allowed to borrow from ancestor 
classes, regardless of the limit status of those classes.

2. Isolated class: class that does not allow non-descendant classes to 
borrow its unused bandwidth and that does not borrow bandwidth from 
other classes in turn

How does HTB implement a 'bounded class'? I seem to see no constructs to 
be able to do this.

The 'ceil' parameter allows us to implement a part of the 'isolated'
definition above. By setting it equal to 'rate', the class does not
borrow bandwidth, but what will stop other classes from borrowing its
unused bandwidth?

Regards,
Amit
