pfifo =3D packet fifo it's just a first in first out not as clever as=20
pfifo fast. If you don't add a queue to a leaf you get a long pfifo -=20

You can specify burst and cburst for htb in your scipt if you want - if=20
you don't htb chooses them for you from rate/ceil.

See them with tc -s -d class ls devX.

Yes use prio to order filters and remember 1 is highest not 0.

Probably be OK as long as you don't have thousands of tests per packet.

Your rates and ceils seem to ignore this comment :-)

Remember rates are guaranteed prio only affects sharing of what's spare.

Rest looks OK but I often miss things - test, test, test is the best way.
