Hi Ed,

You can't set up a HTB or any classful qdiscs on incoming traffic, you can only 
create ingress policer filters.  You can setup different filters with different 
priorities, to try and drop one particular type of traffic moreso than others.

If you're using a linux gateway onto your lan, then you can use a HTB qdiscs
on the outgoing (lan) interface which would do a better job.

regards
