OK as I said I don't know if the marks on packets are still there after
encapsulation. If so there is no problem. Trial and error ;). If not I
think the best solution is the IMQ device to do intermediate shaping
before encapsulation. Wasn't there a discussion on the LARTC mailing
list on how it works?
