Well red the doc on the cues. I know on the HTB que, there is a rate and a coil setting. The rate is the rate at wich the packegges are sendt in kbyte, and the coil is a burst funktion, so if you set the coil and the rate at the same speed you vil get a specifik rate that your packagges are send. But it is not easy to controle the actual rate, because when you set a rate, you actualle drop tcp packagges, the the protocol will slow down by it self. Look at the Advanced Routing howto.
