No Stef,
the rate is really measured - it is used as source for DRR weight
(here it is used relative to other classes) and to see whether we
need to borrow from parent - here absolute value matters.
So that the example above should work and give 512k.
Gavin, did you tried with only these classes present ? (to have
maximaly simplified configuration which exhibits it).
If yes and it really does only 256k then post
tc -s {qdisc,class} show dev ethXX outputs ... as usual
