ip6tables...
Doesn't work on ingress presently, if you are using ifb (I can be wrong).

Using something to lightly shape the last hop (host) incoming packets, like
htb set to a very large fraction of the card's bandwidth and codel set to
a target of 500us delay on ingress, seems to work.

With egress and ingress rate limiting on I can get delay for large numbers
of flows in both directions in a saturated situation down to < 5ms with
fq_codel in place attached to htb.

Best of all, if you have ecn enabled on that host and the packets are marked
3 on ingress in that scenario, you don't drop anything on that last hop...
