Thanks for the reply and I think I have successfully set up codel.
Unfortunately I am also new to qdisc.

I am trying to compare fq_codel and sfq's performance. I was wondering how
to setup a software rate limiting using htb and at the same time have sfq
on this bottleneck link using qdisc.

Thank you so much!
