Looking at the code, HTB is considerably more complex than TBF in Linux, =
and not all of the added complexity is due to being classful (though a =
lot of it is).  It seems that TBF has dire warnings all over it about =
having limited packet-rate capacity which depends on the value of HZ, =
while HTB has some sort of solution to that problem.

Meanwhile, FQ has per-flow throttling which looks like it could be torn =
out and used as a simple replacement for TBF.  I should take a closer =
look and check whether it would just suffer from the same problems, but =
if it won't, then that could be a potential life-extender for the 3800.
