Goal: limit traffic from one LAN server to a certain remote IP:port for an 
rsync connection.  Have that traffic be lower priority and perhaps have a 
bandwidth limit, although the docs say ALTQ can't set limits and to use 
limiters.  All other traffic can be "normal" or equal.

If I run the shaping wizard choosing HFSC and one random thing to limit, then 
it creates a floating rule I can use as a sample to create a new one for the 
target IP:port.  I get that part.

On the page to edit the created queue qOthersLow, what is the Bandwidth 
percentage (default 5%) used for?  Especially, given there are max and min 
bandwidth rows right below that?  In my case I'm fine with the rsync using up 
to 60% of the outgoing bandwidth as long as it's a lower priority (minimum 1%). 
 Do I set Bandwidth to 60%?  Or set Bandwidth to 1%  and Max Bandwidth For 
Queue to m1=60%?

Thanks,
