You mean, receive from the perspective of dom0 ? AFAIK, there's no point
in rate-limiting the data that is bound to a VM, as the data already
traversed the network using up the bandwidth, and it's just a matter of
processing it.

Do you know why tc is not working as expected ? I also tried to setup tc
rules for the vifs, but tc doesn't seem to recognize the interfaces.

What's the best way to setup traffic shaping on a Xen system ?
