If you shape on a bridge, why not shaping on both interfaces ? That way you
can shape in both directions.
And you can use the ingress qdisc, but the shaping acutally happens with the
policers in combination with the filters. Policsers are a sort of tbf, you
can specify a maximum rate to it. So the filters will only match packets at
a certain rate and you can drop packets exceeding that rate. So you can
limit incoming packets.
