Without using IMQ you could try to use the route classifier in the tc rules on eth2. Go to http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.adv-filter.route.html and see if it works for your setup.

Hi. It’s me again. I have another question, that keeps bugging me. Let’s say that I want to limit the upload/download using the marks (that are working). But, I can only limit upload because eth3 from the example is the interface that connects to the Internet. Now, the question: how can I use the download marks from eth3 in order to limit download on another interface (without using IMQ), that points to the network (let’s say eth2)? I thought about modifying the TOS, DSCP, but I am thinking that there must be an easier way to do this (I must be missing something). Thank you for your previous quick answer.

Usually only one direction is shaped on the same interface. You can use IMQ (http://www.linuximq.net/) as a target to the iptables rules to perform shaping.

I have a question.. Can you limit the upload/download on the same interface?
