You would copy the tc based script that you develop to
/etc/shorewall/tcstart. Also, based on your requirements, you'll probably
have to edit /etc/shorewall/tcrules to match what you defined in tcstart.

FWIW: Although I don't think wondershaper fits your requirements (I've been
following your thread on the fedora list) I use wondershaper
http://lartc.org/wondershaper and simply copied it to /etc/shorewall/tcstart
(after editing to my requirements) and then set TC_ENABLED=yes in
shorewall.conf. Again, my requirements were to restrict outbound download
speeds, not inbound.
