[LARTC] htb filter attaching

[Nickola Kolev]

Hi, list,

I have a (simple) question regarding htb:

When I attach a filter to a class, is there a difference whether I'm attaching it to the current class,
or to the root of all classes?

For example:

# Level 2 - Servers Class
	$tc class add dev $dev parent $ROOT_CLASS classid $SERVER_CLASS htb \
	rate $SERVER_GARAN ceil $SERVER_MAX

And:

# Level 2 - Servers Class
	$tc class add dev $dev parent $SERVER_CLASS classid $SERVER_CLASS htb \
	rate $SERVER_GARAN ceil $SERVER_MAX

What's the path a packet will traverse in either cases?
Does it make sense?
