As was suggested, HTB is your friend, with perhaps an SFQ or ESFQ attached.

However, it's worth just ploughing on with the LARTC readme - at the end 
of that you will be an expert in the subject, and it only looks hard 
when you start (keep going and reread it).

For scripts, I think that this one is by far the best starting point.  
It's got just about everything in, and although it's designed for a 
single user, I think with the help of LARTC you can modify it for your 
network, and the incoming part is really quite powerful

Good luck
