You should look into bandwidth shaping solutions. One that I have personal experience with, used to be called AccessPoint from Xedia. This company was sold to Lucent over a year ago. These routers use "Class Based Queuing" to allocate available bandwidth based on applications as well as IP addresses.
Cisco also has "Quality of Service" products but I found AccessPoint to be more effective.

Folks, Recently we've been experiencing "congestion" of our internet pipe. We've tried restricting various thing like Napster, Gnutella and the like with varying degrees of success, but as more and more users come onto our LAN/WAN we've noticed our performance decreasing. Rather than manage this at our firewall (with many many rules), I'd like to know how you manage your traffic. What do you use? I apologize if this question seems off topic, but thought I would toss it out there and see what comes back...
