1. The PF User's Guide has a chapter on Packet Queueing and Prioritization, also called "Traffic Shaping".

2. Class based queing can be used to easily configure bandwidth limitations.

3. Controlling bandwidth can only be done for outbound packets. ( Inbound packets cannot be limited, as they have already arrived at the router.) For "downloading", control bandwith from the router to your LAN. For "uploading", control bandwidth from the router to your ISP.
