Yes, speed = 0 is indeed a problem, we should check the value first.
For speed change, I'll think about how to handle this situation.

Actually, the FEC has always used the credit-based shaper by default. So I think
it's better to fall back the default setting and return error if the bw > 100%.

Sorry, I have no knowledge about the tc show command.
