Configuring a Firewall to prefer certain traffic...

Is it possible to configure a linux firewall to prefer traffic from a
certain host? In other words, if you have 2 hosts on a network, and
one is doing a download, if the second one starts something up, it
will *NOT* be affected by the download on the first box, but the first
box's traffic will slow down to allow the second one through?
