	I follow this; in my example below I was assuming there was an
incoming and outgoing pipe for each Host A/B/C, I just wrote it quickly.

	I'm not quite sure I understand you... are you saying that I
should have something like

traffic from Host A - queue A - pipe 1
traffic from Host B - queue B - pipe 1
traffic from Host C - queue C - pipe 1

Then, how can I limit bandwidth for, say, Host A?
