Yes, it can. :-)

Look into wshaper, or do the iproute stuff yourself.

It's fairly easy to set the P2P apps to low priority, all else follows.

Of course you need the QOS stuff available in the kernel.

It's very nice, for e.g., people can be downloading all manner of things from
my webserver, but my ssh sessions are unaffected and snappy as heck no matter
what.
