Re: [LARTC] Shaping incoming traffic?

[Martin Devera <devik@cdi.cz>]

It is nerly FAQ. You can use Ingres qdisc to do it and attach
policers here.
It would be nice to be able to attach every qdisc to incoming interface
but it is not possible. There is always problem - when packet already
hitted your box why do you want to drop/delay it ?
You should to do it on outgoing side of link to your box ..

When you are router (not app box) then you can shape both directions.
On your virtual-host note. I already did patch (called IMQ) which 
implements virtual inteface allowing to attach single qdisc to multiple
outgoing devices.
It should be relatively easy to extend it to catch incoming packets
too - only there is no time to do it.

best regards, devik
