if you have 3 queues going into a pipe with weights 20, 30 and 50
respectively, then queue 1 would get 20% of the bandwidth, queue 2 would
get 30% and queue 3 would get 50%. essential, a queue's bandwidth
percentage is determined by the queue weight divided by the sum of all
weights going to the same pipe. in effect, the weight is a ratio, not a
priority.
