I have what should be a simple Question about Traffic Shaping.
We are looking at going to a solution that will give us part of a 
T1 for Our internet connection after it is used for VOIP.  This 
will give us a fluctuating bandwidth connection to the internet.  
In reading Adam Nellemann's work on m0n0wall Traffic Shaper he 
stated:
"Ensure that the total bandwidth of all pipes ... NEVER exceed 
your actual (real-world) bandwidth" 

I would not want to limit the pipes to the lowest bandwidth that 
we may see.  Would we not want to set the total bandwidth of the 
pipe/s to the max bandwidth that We would see?  Knowing that at 
sometimes the pipe/s may fill, but We would still see the 
weighing of the queues in shaping traffic.
