Most parameters are automatically propagated from a queuing discipline to its classes, and from ``parent'' classes to ``child'' classes. A propagated parameter value can be overridden by specifying that parameter with a different value at the (child) class.
Example:
cbq (...,avpkt 1500B,mpu 500B,...) { class (...,mpu 600B,...) { class (...) ... } }
is equivalent to
cbq (...,avpkt 1500B,mpu 500B,...) { class (...,avpkt 1500B,mpu 600B,...) { class (...,avpkt 1500B,mpu 600B,...) ... } }
