Indeed.

Yes, it is a must.

I can't say about p2p traffic, but it works for me the way you
describe if I mix mail reading (IMAP/SMTP), web browsing and
running a backup (rsync) in the background over a 0.5/3 Mbps
cable link. Something like the following should get you going.

Btw, it pays off to slightly underestimate the link bandwidth,
which avoids it resorting to more crude methods. My complication
with specifying an interface makes traffic shaping only apply
to external interface. I'm sure it can be improved...

#define IF_INT         rl1
