Jeremy,

For m0n0wall's implementation of traffic shaping, you could read the 
discussion thread at 
http://m0n0.ch/wall/list/query.php?query=%5Bm0n0wall%5D+Traffic+shaper+%22manual%22+%28alpha+version%29&type=all&Submit=Search

Adam Nelleman's, Traffic shaper "manual" (alpha version), has some 
inaccuracies, but thus far, it's the only complete 
m0n0wall-documentation on this subject.
