The link at
http://www.europe.redhat.com/documentation/HOWTO/Net-HOWTO/x1415.php3 has
details on traffic shaping.

I've not used it yet, but am planning on doing so to restrict specific
traffic.

Keep in mind you can only really control what goes OUT from links you
control.

You wind up with a shaper interface that you send selected routes to.
