If you want to use classes, you have to choose for htb or cbq. You can get
good results even if you are not the bottleneck on the link. If you want to
shape the traffic, you will be fine. But if you also want to give a low
latency to certain packets, a modem queue can redo what you did on your
shaping box (imagine that you give an ack packet a high priority but it has
to wait in a big queue in your modem ....).
