The only thing you would need IMQ for is if you need to shape traffic 
from the 1600 to a local process on the linux box - so you may - it 
depends on what else you are running on the shaping box that causes bulk

If eth0 has as much incoming as outgoing then there is no traffic to 
local process?

Do you want to shape eth0 aswell as the internet link or is it OK for 
spare bandwidth?
