You may want to look at Linux's QoS features in the kernel.
You will want to set it up so that the external facing ethernet
port is throttled to your WAN link speed.  Then you QoS on top
of that.  You would need to do it this way, otherwise the Linux
kernel will be QoS'ing empty queues.  You want the transmit queue
on the WAN link to be as empty as possible and have all the
real queue management on the Linux box.

The biggest problem with QoS (on Internet links) is that you
really need it on both sides of the WAN link. (You can QoS outbound
traffic, but not inbound.)  Of course, I am assuming that you
need this on an Internet link.
