- For further reflection: Have you considered the case where the rate

then somewhere post-config the physical link speed changes? This would
happen in the case where ethernet AN is involved and the partner makes
some changes (use ethtool).

I've thought about this a couple of times, scaling the virtual clock
rate should be enough for "simple" qdiscs like TBF or HTB, which have
a linear relation between time and bandwidth. I haven't really thought
about the effects on HFSC yet, on a small scale the relation is
non-linear. 

Does HFSC not depend on bandwith? How is rate control achieved?

But this is a different problem from trying to accomodate
for link-layer overhead.

Yes it is different issue.
