I've noticed as of late, everyone saying 'you can't shape incoming traffic'
but the best solution is to use the imq device.

what happened to ingress /policer usage?
is this not recommended anymore?
I know it doesn't do as efficient job as the normal egress methods, but is imq a lot 
better ?

when does imq become necessary instead of cbq/htb and ingress?
