I think it's best you create a htb setup with different classes. One of the
classes needs a higher priority so the packets in that classes are send
first. Next you need to put the ssh/telnet/syn/ack packets in that classes.
All needed information can be found in the LARTC howto. And you can also
find more info on www.docum.org.
