The prio of class class_a is never used and does not matter.

Htb is used for 2 things:
- class with lowest prio will get the lowest latancy (if and only if this 
class is not sending more data then the tate)
- class will lowest prio will get the remaining bandwidth from the parent 
after each child class is sending his rate.
