Both, actually. Even though I only use the "accounting" and "tcfilters" 
files - without ipset as I thought there was no ipset support.

I am no expert, but couldn't ipsets be included at least in the 
SOURCE/DEST columns of ip addresses/subnets and port ranges, possibly 
the protocol too as the new generation of ipset could have a tuple of 
either (sub)net, port and protocol used? That is what I would need ipset 
to be used for - I am quite happy for the rest to remain as it is.

Wouldn't the use of tcrules force me to use simple traffic shaping instead?
