Well, in that case your problem gets easy really easy.  Just pick up one 
of the prioritisation scripts - I like this one:

http://www.digriz.org.uk/jdg-qos-script/

Then read the LARTC doc so you know what it's doing.  At that should be you up and running.

What you will be doing is just classifying traffic based on it's type and ignoring the source, etc completely.
