Do you know where quantum is used for? It's for classes that are asking fo= r=20 remaining bandwidth. So if that "one voip user" is never asking for more=20 then the configured rate of its class, quantum is never used. So it really= =20 depends on how you configured the classes to answer that question. And taking a quantum of 10 byte is not "wrong". But if you send 1000byte a= nd=20 your quantum is 10byte, htb will use 10byte in it's calculations. So it ca= n=20 disturb the setup, but nothing bad will happen.
