The rates on htb child classes should not add up to any more that about 
80% of the link speed. The parent rate and ceils should be equal to 
about 80% of link speed. I guess you already know for tc bps = 
bytes/sec. Read some of my recent posts about htb default on eth.

Check with iptables -L -v -n that the rules are matching as you expect - 
without testing I can't recall if the output one will see addresses.
