Linux' HTB is a kind of simpler clone of CBQ (this does NOT mean
it's less powerful, in fact they are supposed to be equivalent).

The proposed solutions with Dummynet are neat, but you can achieve
this with ALTQ too, as it supports CBQ.  However ALTQ is only
available on RELENG_5 and newer versions of FreeBSD.  Forget to use
KAME's one on RELENG_4.
