Hi Ana-Maria and Irina,

sorry for the delay.

You hooked the code to use the script, that sounds not a bad idea but I 
would prefer to embed the traffic control code inside lxc for an 
embedded system. I think there is a bit more work to do in the network.c 
part to add the netlink message to set the upload and download rate.

Thanks
