I'd like to extend Benjamin's question and ask if there is any help/HOWTO
that includes a *conceptual* description of Traffic Shaping? I too am a
little lost on pipes and queues, priorities, delays and waits. A good FAQ on
this stuff would go a long way.

I've tried googling but most of it is all shell scripts and technical
questions about syntax.

Thanks
-Ben
