Since right now there is no way to specify a percentage of the total bandwidth 
on a link for a flow, what is the best way to gauge the effective bandwidth in 
absolute terms, and then emulate bandwidth distribution by percentage for flows 
?

For example, if I could figure out that the effective network bandwidth for a 
link is 50Mbps, and I want to create 2 flows on it, each of equal priority, 
then I would give them a max bandwidth of 25Mbps each. The motto is to not let 
the user bother about using absolute numbers for bandwidth control. He just 
specifies a % for the flow, and we are somehow able to map that onto an 
absolute number.

Hope I got the question thru..
