Setting the hard transfer rate/limit on the rsync side is not what I need. I 
want my boxes to be able to use whole available bandwidth anytime. I mean if 
other services need some bandwitdh they just get it with higher priority and my 
boxes always can use *the rest*. If there is a quiet it the network my boxes 
can use the whole highway.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as expected. Bandwidth seems to be shared 
roughly equally with other traffic (tested with pushing data (netcat) through 
VPN in the same time).
I would appreciate your advice or any clues on what I have done wrong. Thank 
you.

FQ-CoDel may be useful for ensuring fair sharing of bandwidth. I use it on some bandwidth constrained links and it works quite nicely at ensuring that bandwidth is fairly distributed. I've found that adjusting the quantum level to around 300 is nice for ensuring interactive applications remain responsive/low latency, by prioritizing smaller packets over larger bulk transfer packets.
