Hi John,

I would like to have a standard userspace tool to set the max ratelimit
of an interface.
If you remember, we added [1] a dcb netlink attribute
(DCB_ATTR_IEEE_MAXRATE) under DCB_CMD_IEEE_SET.

The natural place for it is in lldpad/dcbtool. The maxrate setting is
not part of the 8021Qaz spec, therefore it is a bit different from the
other ieee attributes. So I'm not sure it is a good place.

Where do you think it should be added?

Thanks,
Amir
