Was in the 100 range.  16000K put it in the 500kb range.  Doesn't add up.  Also didn't persist across reboot of zone.

1.) flowadm works in units of bits/sec, not bytes.  4000kbit == 4mbit == 500kbytes.  Please RTFM carefully.

2.) Use it in the global zone for the NIC you're assigning.  Then it'll persist.  Persistence of /native commands in LX zones is an open problem right now.  We aren't planning on doing it for flowadm, only for ipadm.
