Hello Cef or...,

Thanks for your input. Yes I am trying to figure out where/what/when these obscure CBQ options add value (ie., to conclude whether I should eliminate cbq from my "toolchest").  So I wonder since cbq uses the physical link per your response is it better suited to bandwidth control for (rf) applications with fluctuating link rates, etc?

- Cbq uses the physical link situation to caculate the rate.  Example : if you 
want to send 1mbit on a 10mbit you need an idle time of 90% on the link.  
This can be a problem if you want to shape on ppp connection that can have a 
different link bandwidth.
- Htb is better documented (at least I have a better understanding of htb).
- Htb is active maintained.
- Cbq has some obscure options.  And it's not always clear what they do.
