Hello, yes this is possible, this is called "ingress policy".
Take a look at the lartc doc, at the end there is somo cookbook examples.
I had it working. You can limit the incoming traffic "killing" some
packets.
Very recently on the list was also published the new IMQ device, which can
do advanced traffic shapping over incoming traffic.
On the other hand, I don''t know if in case of semi-duplex mediums,
where
the real bandwidth is shared between reception and transmition, it is
possible to limit this real bandwidth (transmit bandwidth dependent of
receive bandwidth). Maybe IMQ is also the solution, I don''t know.
