IMQ has de advantage that you can filter packets you need to control the
traffic using iptables and the packets pass the contrack layer too (if you
use "state" module).
For example, you need to classify traffic from/to clients and by type too,
you can do it with a single interface with tc and complex
filters/classes/qdiscs, but with IMQ, you can use the traffic
classification into the interface and the clients traffic into an IMQ
interface..
Another example, you have many interfaces that comunicates with many
lan''s
and you want to use the same classification for all them, then use only
one IMQ interface and the outgoing/incoming to/from that interfaces
redirect to it using IMQ target.
That are two examples, many users have more real applications of IMQ,
perhaps they want to say us.
