If you want to use netfilter, I think the best way is to have iptablerules in FORWARD, to set mark values on the basis of specific conditions, like --src 192.168.1.0/24 -j MARK --set-mark 1. This mark value can be further used in tc filter commands.. If this will suffice you, I can elaborate more on this process.
