Furthermore, the traffic utilization was 540 bits/sec, and not
540,000 bits per sec. Is 540,000 bits/sec what you actually meant?
The traffic will burst up to the port speed of the circuit, and is
not limited to the bandwidth statement on the interface, as Tim mentioned.

'bandwidth 512' is simply used to calculate a cost for the link for OSPF
(and other IGPs?). It has no effect on the traffic permitted on the
interface.
You need to be looking at something like CAR or traffic shaping to control
the volume of traffic actually using the circuit.
