Can queues be used to queue overall bandwidth? We have a project where we

understand that queuing is able to queue based on protocol, etc on the same
box but lets say there is a T1 shared between the companies, The company
tells us, you can have one of our IP addresses but you can only use 100k of
our bandwidth, can pf do this? I guess this is more bandwitdh throttling
more so than queuing.

No one mentioned it, but this'll only work in one direction. It won't
stop you from saturating the pipe with incoming traffic.
so you'd have to set up queueing on the interior interface of your
firewall as well... tcp will throttle back to this cap, but ordering up
a fat udp stream will always get you in trouble.
