Yes, that's clear to me (well, quite :)), but I read about the limitations of the ingress qdisc and that using a virtual imq device would give me the power to use classes even on incoming traffic. I just wanted to be sure not to be doing something stupid <:) So there's nothing wrong with my thinking? What comes in from the WWW, I can shape on my inner NIC, and what leaves to the router/WWW, I can shape on the outer one? What happens with all the traffic coming in on my inner NIC from my LAN that gets delayed/shaped in order to leave on my outer NIC? Will my inner NIC drop it, or will my Linux-router collect more and more packets, swell up to giant size and explode? :) Thanks for any answer, Björn
