Dear Umesh,
Hardware routers like Cisco have a facility of bandwith allocation for the
protocols. You could choose the protocol and assign the weightage
accordingly. I do not know if you could do the allocation at the Linux box.
But even if it is possible it will add load on your Linux box as it is
already doing a firewall job.
Hope this helps.
