The ingress qdisc can not so shape as powerfull as you can do with the=20
outgoing bandwidth. But if you have a box between the internet and your =

and there is only internet traffic (typical a linux firewall :), you can=20

shaped as outgoing bandwidth on the LAN- NIC.

You can give the laptop 80% of the bandwidth and the remaining 20% to the=

other computers in the network. When you are not downloading, the rest g=

100% (and vice versa). But as soon you start a download, you will get 80=
% of=20
the bandwidth.
