<para>Optional. If specified, enables ingress policing on the
interface. If incoming traffic exceeds the given
<replaceable>rate</replaceable>, received packets are dropped
randomly. With some DSL and Cable links, large queues can build up
in the ISP's gateway router. While this insures maximum throughput,
it kills interactive response time. By setting IN-BANDWIDTH, you can
eliminate these queues.</para>
<para>The incoming <emphasis>bandwidth</emphasis> of that interface.
Please note that you are not able to do traffic shaping on incoming
traffic, as the traffic is already received before you could do so.
But this allows you to define the maximum traffic allowed for this
interface in total, if the rate is exceeded, the packets are
dropped. You want this mainly if you have a DSL or Cable connection
to avoid queuing at your providers side.</para>
<para>To pick an appropriate setting, we recommend that you start by
setting it significantly below your measured download bandwidth (20%
or so). While downloading, measure the ping response time from the
firewall to the upstream router as you gradually increase the
setting.The optimal setting is at the point beyond which the ping
time increases sharply as you increase the setting.</para>
<para>If you don't want any traffic to be dropped, set this to a
value to zero in which case Shorewall will not create an ingress
qdisc.Must be set to zero if the REDIRECTED INTERFACES column is
non-empty.</para>

Shorewall 4.4.13. If not supplied, 10kb is assumed. A larger
