If it doesn't mess up your existing QoS ruleset, you can rate limit
packets just using iptables instead:
-m limit --limit 10/s

limit v1.2.7a options:
--limit avg                     max average match rate: default 3/hour
                                 [Packets per second unless followed by
                                 /sec /minute /hour /day postfixes]
--limit-burst number            number to match in a burst, default 5
