If you use IMQ you can should be able to send all incoming/outgoing packets to the same egress qdisc.You can use HTB with two classes below root qdisc, one for incoming packets and one for outgoing packets. Just a thought but well worth trying. There will surly be problems though and some finetuning. Can he use iptables to separate the incoming/outgoing packets from the IMQ device? I don't even know if all steps are solvable with routing and filtering... anyone? /Torgil > Hi! > > I'm trying to shape my traffic based on the sum of in- and outgoing traffic, > but haven't been able to find any hints in the HOWTO. > > What I want is, that the sum of in- and outgoing traffic does not exceed a > given limit, but that both can borrow traffic.
