    Add an ingress capable traffic policer module configurable with tc.
    
    From the man page:
    
    The police action allows to limit bandwidth of traffic matched by the
    filter it is attached to. Basically there are two different algorithms
    available to measure the packet rate: The first one uses an internal
    dual token bucket and is configured using the rate, burst, mtu,
    peakrate, overhead and linklayer parameters. The second one uses an
    in-kernel sampling mechanism. It can be fine-tuned using the estimator
    filter parameter.
