HTB allows control of the outbound bandwidth on a given link. It allows simulating several slower links and to send different kinds of traffic on different simulated links. In both cases, you have to specify how to divide the physical link into simulated links and how to decide which simulated link to use for a given packet to be sent.

HTB is meant as a more understandable and intuitive replacement for the CBQ qdisc in Linux. Both CBQ and HTB help you to control the use of the outbound bandwidth on a given link. Both allow you to use one physical link to simulate several slower links and to send different kinds of traffic on different simulated links.

Unlike CBQ, HTB shapes traffic based on the Token Bucket Filter algorithm which does not depend on interface characteristics and so does not need to know the underlying bandwidth of the outgoing interface.

The Linux kernel's network stack has network traffic control and shaping features. The iproute2 package installs the tc command to control these via the command line. The goal of this article is to show how to shape the traffic by using queueing disciplines.

Traffic Control (tc) used to control network traffic. TC bundled with iproute2 package in Debian. We can only shape data that we transmit. Using queueing we control the data flow. In a router you might want control the traffic distributing inside your network. Several queueing disciplines (qdisc) can be used with tc.
