The best you can do is following this rules and choose a good r2q :
  - 1500 < rate_small / r2q
  - rate_bigg / r2q < 60.000

with
  - rate_small = smallest rate
  - rate_bigg = biggest rate

Quantum is only used if you have 2 or more class fighting for remaining 
bandwidth from the same parent.  And with remaining, I mean that each class 
already received it's rate and that the parent has some bandwidth left.
