Bandwidth management controls outgoing traffic on an interface, not incoming. So,

 

in order to limit the download bandwidth of the LAN users, set the bandwidth

 

management class on the LAN. In order to limit the upload bandwidth, set the

 

bandwidth management class on the corresponding WAN interface.
