Hmmm. I am pretty sure I did not tell what I meant.

I assume that at some point an HTB class will drop some packets that are
beyond its speed regulation, right?
I just need to measure this amount of dropped bytes (not packets). With
this measure I can MRTG it and give the clients some felling that they
really need more bandwidth.

How can I do this?
