I did not think about playing with tc but this is a very interresting

The problem is that htb will barrow unused parent's traffic with the
rate class.  You don't need the rate class but you should definetly play
with ceil (and cburst), instead.

You might want to use another node on your LAN to check the tc
behaviour with iperf or alike.

If this works, the best values can only be found empirically.

I'm insterrested by your results.
