Yes. I also think that there is no way to shape incoming traffic on Linux. But it is possible to do policing (dropping traffic that exceeds certain limit) on incoming traffic. This can be done using either ingress qdisc or the iptables limit module. Recently we released a patch against 2.4.x kernels that can be used to prioritize incoming connection requests on a socket.
