Is it possible to limit incoming traffic using policing? For example:

ip access-list extended ACL_CM_TEST
permit tcp any any eq www
class-map match-any CM_TEST
match access-group name ACL_CM_TEST
policy-map PM_TEST
class CM_TEST
police 1024000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop

And of course attaching it to an interface with service-policy input.

Yes, but it -usually- doesn't help much. THe packets have already
been transmitted to you, so the link has already been congested;
and no return signal is going to be explicitly sent upstream
to indicate the packet has been dropped.

You mostly using incoming traffic policies if you have internal
devices (hosts, routers, switches) that cannot keep up to the
received traffic.

You can, though, use incoming traffic policies to simulate network
congestion to force the receiver to send back ACKs that the
transmitter would interpret as indicating that the data wasn't
getting through, thus forcing the transmitter to adjust the congestion
window. It is -better- if you can push this kind of adjustement
to the other side of your uplink, but it can be made to work,
I understand.
