If you use Linux for a router, then you'd use "tc". The tc package
("Traffic Control") is what Linux uses to create the queues. Having
said that, Mikrotik is NOT open source, but it is a Linux based router
software and has pretty easy to use ("ease of use" is somewhat relative)
implementation for traffic control and management.

Generally speaking, this is the best approach, but it isn't absolutely
necessary.

I'd recommend Mikrotik, since it is about as easy as you'll find and the
price is VERY low. If you need hardware, software or further specific
advice then hit me offlist. I am a consultant and offer training in
this area (for both Mikrotik and ImageStream).
