Hrm.  I don't know zilch about IFB but I think I am getting your point.
If one had a single point that represented the traffic using the
Internet connection and that represented both local traffic and remote
openvpn traffic, after it comes out of openvpn, if you could choke it
all through a single policy which slowed down the non-priority traffic.

I suppose that could indeed work.  I have no idea how to implement it
though.

But I must admit that this whole shaping of traffic inside an openvpn
connection is a digression of where I had hoped this thread might go.
Although, in coming up with the right solution, perhaps it needs to be
recognized as a variable in the whole TC solution, better sooner than
later.

Cheers,
