Noting what Patrick says as a caveat. But if you set up a rt class in 
hfsc at the moment (it may change soon) you can sort of get a feel for 
what's gone on historically by looking at the requeue counters (can't 
remember if tc -s class ls will do or tc -s qdisc ls with child queues 
on the class is needed).

If you have a rt class you probably don't want it to ever be backlogged 
- it won't be very rt anymore (OK you could have short queue & drop).

If a rt class has become backlogged in the past then you will see 
requeues - it may not be perfect, but I would say big number = bad, 0 = 
good.

Andy.
