An explanation would assist.
I'm assuming the PPP is actually "PPPoE"?? In that case the traffic shaping needs to be on the PPP interface. All the Ethernet traffic is just PPP data (ie, encapsulated) so the only way to do any sort of QoS/rate-limiting based on content is to grok the traffic inside the PPP link. Make sense? My explanation might be off, but I've got a new born, and another under 2yrs old, at home and didn't sleep last night....what's your excuse?! ;) Cheers, James -- "Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love." -- Albert Einstein
