I was using the program "TPTEST" (old version available at  
(sourceforge), for which I have several reference servers easily  
accessible.

I used the UDP-based figures, and it worked like a charm. In a test I  
got 30 ms ping RTT w/o load, and 1500 ms RTT with load. After  
enabling  the traffic shaping, applying the "Magic shaper wizard" and  
adding my own definitions for hated upload and download, I got ping  
RTT in the range 45-100 ms, which I easily can live with.
