You can't convince so easily your peers to send shaped data to you with=20
running any shaper on them. You should accept any incoming traffic and=20
put the outgoing supplement in queues. When the queue will be full the=20
router will ECN back the source to slow down the transmission if both=20
peers are right configured. If ECN is not understood by the peer the=20
packets that exceeds the queue will be dropped.
