Well no, you probably won't be talking bgp to your 'magic routers', so you
really don't need to know gated.

Because squids repackets your data, any shaping information is lost. Once
your data has left squid, there is no way to know anymore where it came
from. 

You can try to get the ingress policer working, which tries to do shaping on
the receiving interface (before squid). This should work, except that people
have been having trouble with the ingress policer.
