For me, HTB values are just perfect! I would say that they're better
than HFSC, since sent rate stays below the configured ceil (but that's
for me)
After applying the patch you sent (to sch_hfsc.c) I got these values for HFSC:

As usually, generating 970Mbit/s of tcp traffic of 800 bytes packets.

Here's the setup picture:

If you'd like any other values just ask. I'll be away till the fourteenth.
Thanks a lot! Good job!
