It appears that while Linux has plenty of traffic shaping mechanism on

While generally it does make sense since transmit is more CPU
intensive operation, after all receive also
consumes CPU cycles. It is clear that it's best to drop the packet as
soon as possible, i.e. on receive, if possible -
by the driver itself. It may not be feasible in general case, but I
can think of a couple of scenarios when it does
make sense.
Any ideas ?
Maybe there is some similar QoS mechanism that I'm not aware of ?
