  Alternatively you can have a look at the Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator :
  
  http://www.bandwidtharbitrator.com/
  http://www.bandwidtharbitrator.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1
  
  It is trivial to set up, you can give it a try for free and it may save
your company against bandwidth hogs (especially peer-to-peer like Kazaa).

  Best regards,
