Yes, all is possible, though not always easy. traffic shaping has
been a large PITA as long as I've worked with it.
My suggestion is to get cbq.init:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cbqinit
There are a _lot_ of things you can do with this, but it is a bit of a
bear until you understand what's going on. Follow the examples, but
read the script and you can see that it can all be done from a command
line (ugh).
