naah, wondershaper is good for "conditioning" a DSL line. but the pipes 
per protocol, etc. i wrote my own. strictly speaking, it just a bunch of 
Perl ASP scripts which present a pretty interface and spits out a shell 
script which uses HTB to do the grunt work.

but it's all there. there also is a Gtk-based GUI (of course not web based 
so you have to run on it the shaper box itself) which you can look for on 
freshmeat.

i no longer tinker with the code, but a version of it manages around 
60Mbit of bandwidth  ;)

my big problem back then was detecting and rate-limiting Kazaa traffic. 
tough nut, you need to do packet payload inspection (there's a patch from 
rusty which lets you do that..) to find the Kazaa signatures. but i 
believe there's a newish project (L7filter?) which does it more 
efficiently.

it's ugly, and it has a heck of a lot of dependencies. but i'll put it 
here:
