I'd never understood what the ifb4 interface was for. Here's a nice diagram from an sqm-scripts GitHub issue.

Well it's not great, maybe something like this
example <https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/476401/99479609-5ad1a580-290b-11eb-8a36-e8e0757431c2.png> Here's the dia file (gzip'd cause github) example.dia.gz <https://github.com/tohojo/sqm-scripts/files/5557551/example.dia.gz>

I was trying to wrap my head around why ifb4 existed and how it worked. Maybe it could somehow explain that qdisc's can only work on packets leaving a device and that's the reason for the ifb4.
