I use priority base queuing on outgoing connections. dont use any kind of bandwidth limiting on incoming as I dont see how that would really do anything. I use pf as my firewall on a bsd box, but the proiritisations would be the same for any firewall. It works for me, I used to have a similar problem with p2p hogging all the outgoing bandwidth, now I dont, and p2p still runs fine. The following is taken from my firewall rules, the higher numbered priorities *always* get put ahead of lower priorities. queue ssh on $ext_if priority 15 priq queue dns on $ext_if priority 10 priq queue http on $ext_if priority 5 priq queue other on $ext_if priority 3 priq queue hogs on $ext_if priority 1 priq (default) First priority goes to ssh, I rarely use it, but I want it first for admin purposes. The dns queue is next highest, it is just for dns queries (out via port 53) and nothing else, next the http queue is for port 80 and 443 so both outgoing http and https traffic is covered, finally the other queue is for everything else. Additionally, there is a hogs queue that certain LAN IPs get put into if they have really been testing my patience :-) Anyway, that arrangement means web browsing always gets put before p2p traffic, ie only bandwidth left after ssh/dns/http/https is available for p2p or other traffic of any kind.
