A possible solution could be using 'Policy Based Routing' (Cisco PBR) creating more subinterfaces and MRTG it this sub 
interfaces and applying 'Generic Traffic Shapping' (Cisco GTS) in combination for assure a maximun bandwitdth for each 
subinterface ... this could be a bizarre solution but in some enviroments would work fine.
