This mechanism is generic. EDT has not been designed for servers only.

One HTB class (with one associated qdisc per leaf) per rate limiter
does not scale, and consumes a _lot_ more memory.

We have abandoned HTB at Google for these reasons.

Nice thing with EDT is that you can stack arbitrary number of rate limiters,
and still keep a single queue (in FQ or another layer downstream)
