It seems you are right: I was monitoring using iptraf, and I really could see cisco's MAC addresses as source MACs of all traffic. It is strange for me.

Ok, I agree, but finally, if I mark traffic by source MAC address, or by IP, or I don't do it, that would only affect the way I would do filtering (tc filter...), but I cannot really see how this would help separating incoming and outgoing traffic by the same interface. By the way, I saw an example, possibly in lartc archive, where another guy had a similar problem, and he made 2 root classes, with the same bandwidth for both of them, one for outgoing and another for incoming. Do you think this is an acceptable way to try to separete it, and if so, do you think I should create 2 root qdiscs (is this possible??), or just 1 root qdisc and 2 root (child or qdisc) classes ??
