Won't do anything, you need to use some kind of rate-limiting/traffic-shaping
on the interface. The "bandwidth" is just a declaration available to the
routing protocols.
mrtg and possibily other measuring/management systems may take it was the
maximum bandwidth, mrtg in particular will make nice flat-topped graphs
because it belives any meansures > bandwidth must be bogus and it just
carries over the last "valid" value. 8-)
