Is the above possible? If so, how? Has anyone implementated this before?

Example;
To set

HTTP - 30%, prio 3 (1 being highest priority)
FTP - 20%, prio 7
POP/SMTP - 30%, prio 4
Default - 20%, prio 8


Also, a question being asked earlier by Geert of which i'm interested to
find out.
What is the effect of setting priority? What is the difference if i set prio
3 and prio 4? Does it mean:
1.    All prio 3 traffic sent out first, then followed by prio 4 traffic.
2.    Amount of traffic sent out being weighted according to priorities.
I.e. more prio 3 packets sent out than prio 4 in the same timeline.
3.    Other effect.


Regards.
