Suppose that in /etc/shorewall/tcfilters I enumerate assorted IPv6 and 
IPv4 rules. Now, suppose an outbound IPv4 packet and an outbound IPv6 
packet, both being queued and both matching the same 
/etc/shorewall/tcfilters entry (for exemple an entry matching a 
destination port) - tc has to decide which one has priority and what 
fits in OUT-BANDWIDTH... Is tc aware that there are actually an IPv4 
packet and an IPv6 packet, or is it rather comparing an IPv4 packet to 
another IPv4 packet with a protocol 41 header ?

Or am I entirely misunderstanding how a Shorewall-controlled tc manages 
that ?
