If you know that you want to limit the bandwidth when you start the
program, "trickle" may work for you:

    scp -p netinst.iso other_host:DELETE_ME.1
    netinst.iso                         100%  191MB   2.9MB/s   01:06

and
    trickle -s -u 500 scp -p netinst.iso other_host:DELETE_ME.2
    netinst.iso                         100%  191MB   681.5KB/s   04:47


Or if you want a more complex solution, take a look at "wondershaper".
