The smartBridge system doesn't seem to have a way to limit the bandwidth available to any specific client.
If you are familiar with Linux, and are comfortable with the command line and recompiling kernels, you can use the built-in bandwidth control features of the Linux kernel - http://lartc.org/howto/ In addition, you might take a look at arbi - http://www.apconnections.net/
Microtik supports bandwidth control. I believe it only includes the same features you can get for free with Linux, but it comes in a preconfigured package, and Eje provides good support. ;-)
The *BSDs also include bandwith management features for free - ALTQ.
At least some Cisco routers have built-in support for bandwith control.
Etinc is definately an option - good price, lots of features. However, if you buy the software only package expect to spend some time on reading the documentation, because support isn't included (and Dennis will tell you so in rather rough terms). http://www.etinc.com/
And then you have Allot, Packeteer, Sitara, Lightspeed, Radware, Checkpoint Floodgate and lots of others.
