>Try protocol 8021q or whatever its number is -
Thanks Andy, this did the trick. And now for the next question.
802.1q is protocol number 0x8100. Therefore my filter lines look like this:
Tc filter add dev eth3 parent ffff: protocol 0x8100 prio 10 u32 match u32 0 0
flowid 1:1 action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0
What is the u32 matching on? Is it matching on IP headers, or is it matching on
the protocol specified, ie the VLAN header?
For my particular application, I need to decide which IFB to redirect to based
on combinations of both VLAN ID and IP src/dst addresses. Can I specify matches
for the VLAN ID here? If so, I would presume that I can then use an Iptables
mark to filter on, with that mark based on IP address? (ebtables can't match
the IP address of a tagged packet, unfortunately.) Otherwise, I'm going to have
to mark the packets with a VLAN ID using ebtables and then another mark from
Iptables based on src/dst IP address. What a sodding nightmare.

Try protocol 8021q or whatever its number is - if there are other
protocol filters you will need a different prio or you will get an error.
but for some reason they are not being subjected to the rate limit. If I
pass normal, untagged packets through this setup, it behaves as
expected. However, once I put tagged packets through the bridge, it
fails to shape traffic.

Are these wireless customers?
I've never shaped wireless - do you get alot of extra loss from link
layer, what's the bandwidth, single duplex or is it round robin type?
I wonder if htb tweaked/untweaked/hfsc/policers could be better than cbq
- you may be able to get things better for link latyer, tcpdumps will
show you how bursty things are for users.
