Netfilter is designed to filter the traffic and the packets. Tc will manage
the outgoing queue and has nothing to do with netfilter.
They both will drop packets, but with netfilter you can specify the packets
(so you can create a firewall) while tc will drop packets to slow down the
sender.
Tc is used to manage the bandwidth you can send (and in a special way you
receive). Netfilter can also do rate-limiting, but it can't do it as
powerfull as tc. Tc can share the bandwidth between classes, give packets a
higher priority, ...
