Packet Shaping

[Splash Tekalal <splash@dreamchaos.net>]

I'm pretty sure there's no simple answer to this question, but any help 
would be appreciated..

I have a mchine running Debian STABLE plugged in at a data center that 
gives me a lot more physical bandwidth than they do contract bandwidth.. 
For a while, mod_throttle installed on Apache was doing the trick to limit 
outgoing floods from users hosting large files, but it's just not cutting 
it any more..

I know Debian can do packet shaping and set up rules for types of packets 
to get priority and such, but I'm at a loss as to where to start on setting 
it up.

Thanks in advance!
