Thanks much, Andy. Would be great if this solves the problem, but it 
doesn't seem to work, unfortunately:

# tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 1:0 htb
# tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 2mbit
# tc filter add dev $DEV parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 1 basic match 
"cmp(u16 at 0 layer transport gt 4000) and cmp(u16 at 0 layer transport 
lt 6000)" flowid 1:1

After running an iperf client against another machine in the local net, 
there's no shaping happening, and the 1:1 class is not visited:

class htb 1:1 root prio 0 quantum 25000 rate 2000Kbit ceil 2000Kbit 
linklayer ethernet burst 1600b/1 mpu 0b overhead 0b cburst 1600b/1 mpu 
0b overhead 0b level 0
  Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
  rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
  lended: 0 borrowed: 0 giants: 0
  tokens: 100000 ctokens: 100000

If I use a single port match:
# tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 1:0 htb
# tc class add dev $DEV parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 2mbit
# tc filter add dev $DEV parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 1 u32 match ip 
dport 5001 0xffff flowid 1:1

then the traffic is indeed limited to 1.9 Mbits/sec and the class stats 
look different:

class htb 1:1 root prio 0 quantum 25000 rate 2000Kbit ceil 2000Kbit 
linklayer ethernet burst 1600b/1 mpu 0b overhead 0b cburst 1600b/1 mpu 
0b overhead 0b level 0
  Sent 1507824 bytes 1000 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
  rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
  lended: 484 borrowed: 0 giants: 0
  tokens: -3139 ctokens: -3139

Does anyone know what might be wrong with that ematch use?

-Y.
