For ingress shaping look at using an IMQ device. Relying on ack packets will cause too many retransmissions on a busy connection and really only affects TCP protocols. I recommend reading about dscp/tos field values and use tcpdump and wireshark to verify how these are set on various traffic. You can then use the MARK or CLASSIFY targets to ensure the traffic ends up in you qdisc classes as expected.
