[nsp] QoS tricks redux

[Dmitri Kalintsev]

Chris,

Inbound "prioritisation" isn't possible, because you are busy receiving bits
from the wire and cannot tell the wire which bits are of interest and which
are not - they (bits) already are in the order that the sending device put
them in. You can only classify or drop on inbound, while you're trying to do
priority queueing and shaping.
