I have an Ubuntu machine acting as a router/Stateful Firewall/NAT for my internet connection. It has a couple of ethernet ports and a wireless network for my home network (eth5, eth7, eth10 and wlan1). It is connected with a DSL modem in bridged mode giving it a connection to the internet called ppp0. I currently use tc and a simple rate limit (TBF, IIRC) to shape the outgoing traffic (which works great -- no matter how much is uploading, my connection does not increase latency because of it, which is the goal).
What I would like to do is use tc to limit and prioritize my incoming traffic. I know you can't do this without setting a a fake device, using IMQ or IFB. (I believe IFB is the new, "right" way to do it.)
So, how do I set up IFB so I can I set up IFB so I can set up a simple TBF limit for now (and later set up bandwidth allocations, like TCP ack packets get a certain guaranteed amount of bandwidth)?
