Here is the toy QoS solution for linux, which is a simplified version of the one I uses successfully on my home network. It uses quite a few scheduler modules - sch_htb, act_connmark, em_meta etc - that may not load automatically, so they may need to be listed in /etc/modules.

Toke, thanks for agreeing to let the attachment through.
