# bandwidth -- the bandwidth of the eth0 device
#   note it must match the device's real bandwidth
# allot -- it is safe to leave it at the MTU of 
#   the device
# avpkt -- the average packet size that you 
#   suspect will be seen safe to leave at 1000 
#   for Ethernet with MTU of 1514 bytes
# mpu -- minimum packet size

# share its bandwidth to other classes prio is the 
# priority assigned 0 being the highest and 7 the 
# lowest weight -- safer to leave at 1
# queue discipline setup. Classid 1:1 will have a 
# rate of 1Mbps which is bounded.
