It seems on a bridging setup, you can shape incoming and outgoing
traffic but not the conventional way.
Simulating internet and lan on a lab setup, I bridged LAN and OPT
interface. OPT interface connects to
our LAN simulating Internet and OPT is connected to a switch which the
test boxes are connected simulating a local area network.
And the following are the results:
1. To shape incoming traffic, the incoming direction of the the OPT
interface should be use for defining the shaping rules.
2. To shape outgoing traffic, the incoming direction of the the LAN
interface should be use for defining the shaping rules.
[ internet ] ------ [ monowall ] ------ [ LAN ]
lan <bridged> opt
incoming -----> in out out in <------ outgoing
If anyone could verify this, it will be greatly appreciated.
