IMHO it's quite possible you're trying to use HTB to things it is
not intended to do. cburst/burst have to limit burstiness and not
change rates depending on load. But, maybe they could do the other
things too whith some tricks, I don't know. I think CBQ or maybe
HFSC could be better for you. But, if TBF works for you, and you
don't need sharing (lending) I don't understand why to 'fight'
with HTB at all. You could maybe use it only to get class hierarchy
with some high, not limiting rates, or even try e.g. prio + TBF
combination.
