Hi,

I'm not family with queue disciplines in the Linux kernel. My doubt is,
if the switch/router with Linux has exactly two ports to use for input and
output, so consider the following ASCII picture:
                                               ___________
                                             /                           \
Network 1 ---------- | eth0 |      SWITCH       | eth1 | ---------------
Network 2
                                             \ ___________ /


Now, consider that a one flow crossing this switch:

Network 1 ---> eth0 ---> eth1 ---> Network 2

There are qdisc associated into the ingress and egress port?
How the qdisc (e.g., HTB) "communicate" with queues?

My doubt is, if I wanna instantiate 8 queue, each queue will be
a class on the HTB?

The following picture are possible?:

queue1 |-----------\
queue2 |-----------  \
queue3 |-----------   \                                 Network driver
queue4 |-----------     Scheduler -----> | egress queue |---> out
queue5 |-----------   /                                        eth1
queue6 |-----------  /
queue7 |----------- /
queue8 |-----------/

The HTB act in 8 queues?

Thanks regards,
