traffic queueing and ipsec vpn

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

Hi all, ive been reading lartc howto, im new about traffic shaping/police.
 
As far as red (chapter 9 complete) i saw that first the packet passes at the ingress qdisc, then it passes to the ip stack if the packet is directed to the box or its forwarded (is my case), then it falls to the egress classifier/s.
 
Now, i understand if i have an ipsec vpn at the outside interface, the egress classifiers will act before the packet leave the kernel and enter to the vpn tunnel, is this correct?
 
Here's my situation , i have a "headquarter" box that is a database (to call it with a name) and then a lot of branches that send queries to this database and based on the results, the branches send packets to other branches trough some established IPSEC tunnels. So, hq is the route database, and the branches send voice traffic to other branches.
 
Now i have to set traffic shaping and manage the bandwith for senialization and for voice flows (rtp flows). So i need to be shure that i can classify the packets at the outside interface before them enters to the vpn tunnel.
 
is this correct?
 
 
Thanks in advance.
