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%?
