For the script I pointed you don't need it, because HTB is part of the standard kernel. However for your case, where most of the incoming traffic goes directly to the router machine I think so. If you decide to go that way, take a look at this howto: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/ADSL-Bandwidth-Management-HOWTO/index.html Boa sorte!
