Its bizzare how the "linux bandwidth arbitrator" authors have never
heard of HTB, LARTC people have not heard of "arbitrator". :)

arbitrator has some nice features, it acctually tracks the bandwidth
usage and can limit the big spenders - so its more dynamic than pure "tc". 
The problem is its completelly different than "tc" and requires a number of
strange kernel patches (that perhaps are not tested enough). 

I wish I could see an integration of the solutions ...

btw, this list is about LARTC so the arbitrator still somehow belongs in
this categorry, although it doesn't use "tc".
