In tc, with egress you control outbound traffic, with ingress inbound. Usually only outbound traffic is controlled, as you can't really force others to send slower (see more here http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.qdisc.html)
That said, TCP/IP will just resend a packet it it doesn't get an ACK that it's been received, so you can limmit incoming traffic to a degree just by throwing away overspeed stuff until you're ready to deal with it...
