Thanks for the response. I guess I'll have to make do what the nftables wiki documentation has provided. What I'm struggling to do right now is implement the ingress rate limit in the lan interface. It can be done using tc filter and ifb interface but as much as possible I'd like to use nftables implementation for future-proofing.

I believe nftables has a fundamental limitation when it comes to traffic shaping, specifically the lack of a queueing mechanism, like RED. While nftables can handle basic rate limiting, it falls short when it comes to advanced limitations. In my opinion, using tc for rate limiting is both more clear and more powerful than relying on nftables.
However, I still encourage you to learn nftables, as it can work in conjunction with tc to tackle more complex scenarios.
