you should probably read parts of this if you'd like to learn
more about altq internals:

ftp://ftp.sonycsl.co.jp/pub/kjc/papers/dissertation.ps.gz

try searching for 'offtime' as well as 'suspen*' (if you search
for suspend, you'll need to look for suspend/suspension and some
mis-spellings).

(ps2pdf, from ghostscript, does a reasonable job of getting it
into a format that be searched a little more easily)...

Hi Edy

 Even tho we limit the users to 30Kbps/thread but if we have extra
 bandwidth in the 3Mbps pool, we would like to distribute it evenly.

You would want to be looking at load balancing Edy. Combined with QoS
can do what you want
