While I agree with this and the points you've made, let me suggest that the problem the original poster had is better solved by prioritizing traffic, rather than by setting fixed bandwidth limits in place. Or perhaps "in addition to fixed BW limits".Now, that sounds quite reasonable, but it's really quite a minefield. Consider that the TCP stream could be fragmented --- unlikely in normal usage, but something a potential attacker might try --- or that an attacker might be able to persuade your firewall to open up access to ports or addresses it really shouldn't by sending a cunningly modified FTP control exchange.
