Re: prioritize some protocols with limit down-upload bandwit

If you have simple queues at this moment, as I understand, the simplest way is to put a simple queue for each kind of traffic that you want prioritised, and put a higher priority to that queue. This way, that traffic would go first. I it's needed, mark it with mangle rules.
Else, use queue tree.

Set in simple queues both src-address and dst-address to control traffic between clients.
For uplink use target-addresses. And you're done.

You must use 2 queues to limit each client, one for client-to client, one for internet.
