No, TC isnt flow-aware. If all the flows fall into the same class,
packets will be dropped on a "need-to-drop" basis. Also the greedy flow 
will be able to hog bandwidth unless it is policed at the edge of the 
traffic control network.

But you could use something like Diffserv which has various drop 
probabilities and thus control which flows have more drop probability.
