Hierarchical Token Bucket.  It’s one of the two most commonly used shapers on 
Linux, the other being HFSC.

Very likely.  My experience is that flow isolation (which is what fq_codel adds 
over plain codel) gives the single biggest improvement to perceived traffic 
quality of all the techniques I’ve seen and used.  Codel also works 
significantly better when it only needs to signal to one flow at a time.

If you plan to try out HTB+fq_codel or HFSC+fq_codel, then I would also suggest 
trying out Cake.  It’s slightly more involved to set up since it’s not yet 
upstream, but it’s a no-knobs-needed solution using even more sophisticated and 
comprehensive algorithms than fq_codel.  I’ve just finished adding “triple 
isolation” to it, and I plan to make it the default in the near future, unless 
someone turns up a major problem.
