Assume the following condition:
I have a Network with this topology

           INTERNET
              |
              |
          [Router A]
              |
              |
             /|\
            / | \
           Clients

If I install a Linux box between Router A and Internet
,could I shape the bandwidth of every client with HTB
?
What If router A is simply a NAT  and clients IPs are
not valid?

What about this diagram?

                    INTERNET
               ----------------------
                        |
                        |
                   [Linux Box]
                       /|\
                      / | \
                     /  |  \
                    /   |   \
                   A    B    C
A,C are both NATs.
B is a router.
Can I limit the bandwidth of every client simply with
their IP addresses?(no matther if they are valid or
NAT addresses?)

Yes, you are right.
(assuming that NAT are done by the linux box).
