Hi everyone!

Can I use systemd.network to throttle a specific service? I am asking because I 
read this statement in systemd.network(5) [1]:

> The [NetworkEmulator] section manages the queueing discipline (qdisc) of the 
> network emulator. It    can be used to [...] limit the bandwidth usage of a 
> particular service to simulate internet connections.

That tripped me up (and made me curious) because so far I thought that tc and 
netem is used to only configure network interfaces.

This statement was originally introduced in PR#13747 [2], but it is not clear 
how to actually limit the bandwidth usage of a particular service.

Is this at all possible? If so, how? Was this an oversight and there is no such 
functionality?
