In fact, Stef, 

I tried the esfq qdisc a few days ago, but I can't say
I saw satisfied. Maybe I couldn't find the right values for limit/depth/divisor,
but there were no fair links for the IPs I defined. For a 128 Kbit class,
I added the necessary filter and a esfq qdisc, but the bandwidth was not
shared equally. Two of four clients got 4 KB, and the rest got about 2,5KB
download speed. Thery wew THE ONLY users, connected to that machine.

So, I'm wondering if esfq is really working as it is supposed to do.
Maybe Alexander Atanasov could enlighten me (us)?

Nickola
