I was actually thinking of networking quality of service, like allowing a long
download run but not totally ruin any other data transfers going on.  It's also
known as bandwidth management.

Unlike policy routing with Linux, almost all the documentation available
is nearly useless.  It doesn't help any when the only person who really
understands the necessary tool (tc from the iproute or iproute2 package)
doesn't speak English very well and hasn't been very helpfull in writing 
documentation.

I was hoping someone would know something, which is why I suggested it.
