cl_forwardspeed is a cvar (a console variable). Like sv_gravity and such.
Pull up the console and type cl_forwardspeed and it'll say something like 'cl_forwardspeed is "350"'. Just like sv_maxspeed.
You will not find a function for cl_forwardspeed. That belongs to the client, the server should never set it. And cl_forwardspeed does not determine the maximum speed a client can move, cl_forwardspeed determines the maximum forward speed that the CLIENT *WANTS* to move. sv_maxspeed has final say over all issues of speed.
As far as I can tell, the reason that cl_forwardspeed exists is so a client can walk slowly or run. A client may not want to move as fast as possible, like near a ledge over a cliff.
sv_maxspeed is really the only cvar that a server would want to manipulate.

Inquisitive minds want to know ! And if they don't -- well like that ever has stopped me before ..
