bandwidth 1 over N

[teddymills]

Unless there is QOS in place, one computer can say take 4 of 5
mbits bandwidth by Torrent/FTP downloads etc leaving the other
9 to share 1 mbits. With QOS, each computer gets a fair share of the
bandwdith.

seems to have QOS (and many other nice pc router features)
