Apologies for the rather lengthy title, couldn't think of anything else.
What I'm looking for is a Linux router/firewall distro (think m0n0wall or pfSense) that changes the QoS priority of a certain protocol after a certain amount of traffic has been transferred.
If you have a look at this screenshot of the Tomato firmware:
You can see that http transfers are a High priority for burst downloads, but get switched to a lower priority after 512KB has been transferred. Useful for when someone wants to download large files over http without slowing down general web browsing for anyone else.
I would use Tomato on a Linksys router if nothing else were available, but I like the power and flexibility of running a firewall/router on a home computer.
Any thoughts/comments gratefully received.
Distros I've tested so far:
m0n0wall
pfSense
IPCop
IPFire
Smoothwall
Untangle
ClearOS (used to be Clarkconnect)
Endian
Zentyal
