Thanks Lars and Johan, I was trying to highlight to irix that once traffic is received, it is too late to alter the bandwidth it already used coming in. In other words, doing it on the incoming is pointless. Thus, as in your examples, the logic behind shaping only on the outbound. i.e.You can easily delay sending something you have, but you have little to no control over the ingress traffic of a link where only the local host you have control of.
