[LARTC] Traffic shaper based on UIDs

[vit]

Hello!

I need assistance to solve my problem related to traffic shaping based on 
the user ids.

The problem: each unix user (of the linux host) has to be limited with 
incoming channel (internet) bandwidth.  I need this to implement
internet access solution based on ltsp (http://www.ltsp.org).

As far as I know the best way to shape traffic in linux is CBQ.
But there is no filter based on unix user id (the reason is clear for 
everybody -- ip packet doesn't contain this information).

I've found the very interesting netfilter patches at the patch-o-matic: 

http://www.netfilter.org/patch-o-matic/pom-extra.html#pom-extra-owner-socketlookup
http://www.netfilter.org/patch-o-matic/pom-extra.html#pom-extra-owner-supgids
http://www.netfilter.org/patch-o-matic/pom-extra.html#pom-extra-ip_queue_vwmark

Am I on the right way?  How can I combine the power of netfilter and 
traffic control systems to solve my problem?

I am new in this topic, so excuse me if my questions are too simple or "dummy" 
::-)

Thank you beforehand!
