The Vyatta syntax is:

 traffic-limiter test-traffic-limit {
     class 2048 {
         bandwidth 1mbit
         burst 500kbit
         match onebox {
             ip {
                 destination {
                     address 192.168.100.99/32
                 }
             }
         }
     }
 }

Which generates these TC commands.

root@VC6:~# tc qdisc show dev eth0
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: root bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
qdisc ingress ffff: parent ffff:fff1 ---------------- 

root@VC6:~# tc filter show dev eth0 parent ffff:

  match c0a86463/ffffffff at 16

I think the bad part is the huge burst size.
