The bandwidth parameter is used to calculate the idle time of the link. So
sending 1mbit on a 10mbit link means 90% idle time. It has nothing to do
with maximum of traffic you can send. Cbq needs also a valid allot and avpkt
parameter for the same reason : to calculate the link idle time of the NIC.
Limiting the total traffic is done with the bounded 1:1 class attached to the
root qdisc.
