I sort of understand this, but I can't figure out how that would apply
to my example:
altq on $wan hfsc bandwidth 25Mb queue {one, two}
queue one bandwidth 70% hfsc(default, realtime 20%)
queue two bandwidth 30% hfsc(realtime 60%)
If realtime and linkshare priorities are reversed, what happens as
total bandwidth utilization approaches 100%?

Can you please clarify what you mean? I'm familiar with the leaky
bucket algorithm, but it still doesn't answer what triggers the switch
from m1 to m2 and whether it's a per-queue or per-connection setting.

Understood, thanks.
