Obviously. Else the error messages (when tbf was not enabled) were
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported.
I tried the following which is working at the moment.
---------8<-------------------8<--------------8<----------------
TC=/root/iproute2/tc/tc
DEVICE=eth0
BANDWIDTH="bandwidth 10Mbit"
$TC qdisc add dev $DEVICE root handle 1: cbq \
$BANDWIDTH avpkt 1000 mpu 64
$TC class add dev $DEVICE parent 1:0 classid :1 est 1sec 8sec cbq \
$BANDWIDTH rate 10Mbit allot 1514 maxburst 50 avpkt 1000
$TC class add dev $DEVICE parent 1:1 classid :2 est 1sec 8sec cbq \
$BANDWIDTH rate 4Mbit allot 1514 weight 500Kbit \
prio 6 maxburst 50 avpkt 1000 split 1:0 defmap ff3d
$TC qdisc add dev $DEVICE parent 1:2 tbf rate 64Kbit buffer 10Kb/8 limit
10Kb

I agree to this. It is better to have a CBQ apart from TBF. I followed
your point. Thanks.
