The attribute takes affect on the device using the profile, in this 
case the TNT. In the case of Ascend DSL gear, these settings can be 
set on either or both ends, and they needn't even agree--lowest 
setting in either direction (presumably) wins.

So, if you use this attribute on the TNT it will take effect 
(assuming it works, which I don't know). And, if the DSL Pipe makes 
it's own settings it will use them. If the Pipe tries to exceed the 
CIR set at the TNT the TNT should throttle it back--wouldn't be much 
of a CIR otherwise, would it?

Bear in mind, from the docs:

	Dependencies: The system activates configurable receive 
data-rate limits
	only for connections that use CAP-RADSL, SDSL, and unchannelized DS3
	cards. If you specify a value for a connection that does not use these
	cards, the system ignores the settings.
