Unless your network is badly underprovisioned, some form of roughly
fair share scheduling (say, SFQ) should be all you need.

I certainly don't.  We should be simplifying our networks, not making
them even more complex.  (Dave, I'm seriously worried you're heading in
the wrong direction.)

The first step is to admit you have a problem ;-)
