With 2.0 series kernels the traffic shaper module is your friend and
with VERY little effort you can achieve what you want reliably and with
no fuss. Of course with the latest 2.2 kernel you can use the new QoS
capabilyties that will give you dynamic bandwith sharing, host
favorization and so on, like some ULTRA expensive CISCO routers ;) but I
only tried ( and use in production enviroment) trafic shaper with his
only disadvantage of giving you FIXED ( no packet borrowing even on the
other channels have no traffic :( ) bandwith for a given host or subnet
but loading many shaper modules and a clever setup you can achive some
kind of host priorities.
