It also depends if you want to shape download or upload. If you want to shape
upload, you have to realize that you can only use 1 link. For download, you
can use 3 links but only if you NAT and you have a lot of connections so you
can load balance the different connections (like http traffic). An ftp
download, will only use 1 link.
This all to say that's not so easy to determine what will be the maximum
bandiwdth a class can get. And that's one of the parameters you need to
create a good tc setup. But you can create a tc setup that can shape the 3
links in both directions. Even if this shaping is not perfect, it still
beter then not shaping at all.
