They can classify traffic and assign relative priorities (good) but not
hold anything to fixed caps or rates.  I use the former on DD-WRT to
keep my neighborhood network flowing nicely, but it's only fortune and
cooperative neighbors that has kept our usage below caps (I'd really
love to rate-limit limewire for one user).  If 'unlimited' really meant
that, the DD-WRT implementation would be perfect.

I've attempted to hack pf to do the latter, but it's messy and
confusing, even with current GUI helpers
