firstly, you want to setup some qdiscs of different speeds/limits.
the type will depend on if you want to slow the traffic to a fixed 
speed, or limit the maximum speed.
http://www.lartc.org/howto/lartc.qdisc.html#LARTC.QDISC.EXPLAIN

then you need to create filters to put the traffic from the particular 
IPs into the appropriate queues.

it's really all in the examples in the howto.
