Why doesn't bwlimit work between Slackware/rsync of different versions?

The X server sends to the Y server and the bwlimit in X has no effect. See the versions of each:

X server
rsync version 3.1.0 protocol version 31
Slackware 14.1

Y server
rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29
Slackware 12.0.0

That question has been asked before: https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...it-not-working. And again more recently: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ed-not-working.

So the question I would like to ask you: How do you know that it doesn't work?

We had converted kbit to kilobyte correctly. The trickle tip seems to be interesting, since my boss suggested the following:

"Suggestion: if there is space, use the tc with HTB; it controls traffic via the operating system;"
