You said it right. You can only shape outgoing traffic, but you can limit
incoming and outgoing traffic. So limiting is not shaping.
For instance, you can limit the incoming traffic from 1 hosts. Only limiting.
You can not say (at least not easy), "if there is other bandwidth left, the
host can use all of it, but it has throttle down to 40% if there is other
traffc.". The latter is shaping and can only be done on outgoing traffic.
