If your incoming traffic is mostly HTTP
maybe you can install the Squid HTTP cache+proxy
in the Linux machine and activate the 'delay
pools' feature of Squid to group your web
users giving to each group different performances.

In the Squid documetation you can find more info about this.

Pease someone more competent correct me if i'm wrong with
this suggestion.

And SangTae Ha, if you implement this and it works, please
share your experience with us.

I apologize for my English.

you can use iproute2 to do outgoing traffic shaping.
there's nothing you can do about the incoming traffic.
there's a howto about this:

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html

section 8 talks about this.
