my friend
CB-WFQ is used for congestion management

CB-WFQ will not do the trick
please read

Once a class has been defined according to its match criteria, you can
assign it characteristics. To characterize a class, you assign it
bandwidth, weight, and maximum packet limit. The bandwidth assigned to a
class is the guaranteed bandwidth delivered to the class during
congestion.

hope this helps
