length from the default of 100, which on an ADSL line could take as much as 10 seconds to empty with a 1500 byte mtu.----- 3.5. Attempting to Throttle Inbound Traffic By using the Intermediate Queuing Device (IMQ), we can run all incoming packets through a queue in the same way that we queue outbound packets. Packet priority is much simpler in this case. Since we can only (attempt to) control inbound TCP traffic, we'll put all non-TCP traffic in the 0x00 class, and all TCP traffic in the 0x01
