Well if you want to get complicated (dunno how far the options in Shorewall will take you) then you could setup your own traffic control. The learning curve is quite high as you need to learn how to drive "tc" natively, but Shorewall will happily run your own setup script and it gives you great flexibility. In practical terms, if you can write a TC filter spec for it, you can control it ! I do this on our border routers at work, I shape in four bands, and multiple groups so we can split out bandwidth for particular services we host or customers we resell bandwidth to in the building. And I "simulate" doing it inbound by shaping egress traffic on the internal interface (or you can use (IIRC) an IFB interface). There's a whole howto on it at http://lartc.org/howto/ -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
