Srikanth,

 : I want to know exactly how the packet flow is occuring in BW management?

Eh?  Seems a bit of a general question....can this not be answered by some
study of the queueing discipline you are using?

If you don't know where to start reading about the queueing discipline you
are using, start at http://lartc.org/ and http://www.docum.org/ and, of
course, a google search.

 : Where does the Bandwidth Management taking place after/before routing?

Study the kernel packet travelling diagram, and you'll have a better idea
of the answer to your question.

  http://www.docum.org/stef.coene/qos/kptd/

The short answer is:

 - egress traffic control occurs after all of the IP filtering, mangling
   and rewriting
 - ingress traffic control occurs after iptables PREROUTING hooks (if
   you are using iptables) or ipchains input (if you are using ipchains)

-Martin
