	This is the same kind of setup I've been shooting for. When you say the
sum of D, E and F, are you talking rate or ceil? I would imagine ceil.
That makes it hard to please the customer who is paying for 128kbit, yet
only sees it in 3 42kbit streams, or some other breakdown of the 128k. If
I understand you right, there is no way to run three seperate children for
prioritizing packets, and still give full bandwidth of parent to any of
the three, without allowing the use of all three at the same time to
exceed the parent?
