Prio is only used to distribute remaining bandwidth and to determine the order of the classes so the highest priority class has the lowest delays. If you have a 10mbit class with 2 classes of each 2mbit and prio 0 and 1. Each class can send 2mbit. And the class with prio 0 can use the remaining 6mbit. So you have 2 classes with rate 2mbit and 8mbit. Remember : the lower the prio, the higher the priority.
