Doesn't take care of the "Bonus" round, but here's a little "recipe"
from a script I've used on a Debian box here...

tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 750kbit latency 50ms burst 1540

I was looking through my bookmarks to figure out where I came up with
that, it was a good reference for the various types of QoS available
in Linux -- this was just the "quick and dirty" way I found to limit a
particular box, overall.
