Cisco can do it. Please read the following links.

You can do it in Linux. You will have to recompile your kernel to support
ToS.
And you can make use of ipchains to traffic shape. Below is an example
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
# Type of Service (TOS) Settings
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
# Though very FEW ISPs do anything with the TOS bits, I thought you'd
# like to see it. In therory, you can tell the Internet how to handle
# your traffic, be it sensitive to delay, throughput, etc.
#
# -t 0x01 0x10 = Minimum Delay
# -t 0x01 0x08 = Maximum Throughput
# -t 0x01 0x04 = Maximum Reliability
# -t 0x01 0x02 = Minimum Cost
#
# Example:
#
# Settings for FTP, SSH, and TELNET
# ipchains -A output -p tcp -d 0/0 21:23 -t 0x01 0x10
#
# Settings for WWW
# ipchains -A output -p tcp -d 0/0 80 -t 0x01 0x10
I haven't actually tried it. There is another tool (shapecfg) but I haven't
tried it. Just read the HOWTO or MANPAGE.
