xen bandwidth limiting

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,
I have setup few xen vm's here at home and I'm doing some tests. One issue
that won't work is the bandwidth limiting issue.
Here's my file:

name = "hetz-test3"
uuid = "a4452cbb-33bd-5cbd-0c59-cf2ae8c2b73e"
maxmem = 2048
memory = 2048
vcpus = 1
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,keymap=en-us" ]
disk = [ "tap:aio:/vps/images/hetz-test3.img,xvda,w" ]
vif = [ '*rate=10KB/s*, mac=00:16:36:32:eb:7d, bridge=xenbr0,
script=vif-bridge' ]

I'm using the Xen that comes with CentOS 5.4 (Xen 3.0.3) and according to
the documentation of RHEL 5.4, the rate parameter should do the trick, yet
it doesn't work.

Have I missed anything? I thought using tc, but tc is a bitch (IMHO. ancient
docs, bizarre explanation).

Thanks,
Hetz
