A CBQ and a few SFQ limits will do this perfectly
as you can match by IP / Protocol / Headers / (Actual Data Contained inside
of each Packet / Frame )
and ToS fw Marks .. :D

And about the NAT / ISP thing , i think it would be great to do someting
like that .. :D
i so hate peer-to-peer sharing over the internet ... lol

what kind of ISP is it going to be dialup , ISDN ??

because Radius & Portslave (Linux Dialin Server) will allow you to restict
Bandwidth per client ...
let me know how you go, as i have a Buisness Partner that plans to build a
NAT / IPTables ISP
so we can give these Buisness Based Clients exactlly what they want .. :D

  hope this helps
