This is mainly regarding Elping comment, that CBWFQ is not an option
because
this only works on congested links.

To begin with, this is right, as it is also the case with custom
queuing.
All "queuing" schemes take on only on congested links.

There is though a problem on how to divide "exactly" if you only have
traffic for one of the classes, so I would assume (after consultation
with the proctor at hand :-) that congestion is indeed there when you
apply
the criteria.

Also the "exactly" should take into account control traffic... beware.
As for CAR, that would be rate limit. Depending on the wording, rate
limiting
to half the available bandwidth may be the only option.

As for priority, I don't see how this would affect the fairness
(exact-ness ?)
of the division. Priority would put half the traffic on top of the rest
in
an unfair queue service policy...
