HI Ago,
       You can use Traffic Shaper (kernel option and package) but pay
attention
on how to set it since it has some limitation on how to manage bandwith.
I read document long time ago and i remember it can handle from 9.600
bps to
256Kbps per each connection....take a look if it's your situation....
