Hi All,
Thanks for the help. Stef, our product is already out in the market with 2.4.18 kernel. So if we change the kernel, we will have to go through a full QA cycle which is something we don't want to do :).  BTW, I would like to have global limits on the Bandwidth per user irrespective of  which interface the traffic might go.Can i do this without using IMQ? Also i want to do my own classification by setting the skb->priority field with the appropriate class ID. Is it possible to use this kind of classification with IMQ and HTB? 
i really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Hemanth

And you don't need imq. If you have a gateway, you can shape on both 
interface so you can control up- and download traffic.

Just wondering, what kind of software do you developped so you can not use 
kernel 2.4.20 ??
