	This is ours ;) sqm-scripts needs an intermediary functional device or IFB for short to allow attaching a qdisc to the ingress direction; and the IFB4${IFACE} is the convention we adopted in sqm scripts. If you set ingress shaping to 0 this should not appear at all (or only transiently).

	I believe that has been resolved in later posts already...

	So sqm-scripts now works in both direction as you expect it? Preserving latency under load performance for a relatively small bandwidth sacrifice?

	Well, you can always try interative to relax the shaper settings again to recover some of the lost bandwidth. But please note that in the ingress direction the shaper works the better the larger the difference between the artificial bottleneck rate (you set for the shaper) and the true bottleneck rate is; I seem to recall that people typically are sufficiently happy with ingress shaping rates of around 85-90% of ingress line-rate.

Best Regards
