Managed switch? | PRIO chain

Saw this command on slashdot
(http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/24/0434224&mode=flat&tid=126&tid=95
) to basically make a box behave like a managed switch:

"tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 250kbit latency 20ms burst 2kb"

Followup:
http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=101542&threshold=-1&commentsort=3&tid=126&tid=95&mode=flat&pid=8653105

Will this work?

Is there a simpler way to have traffic forwarded between 2 interfaces (or
ip's??) to behave like a managed switch?

Also:

Still no howto on the PRIO chain?
This chain is the simplest and probably fine for most home users. Thing
is, there isn't a howto dedicated to it, it's covered only in passing in
other howto's and been mentioned a bit on the mailing list.

Has anyone used this chain and was it good enough for your basic "I've got
DSL at home and I want to give port 80 pririty over p2p" style basic
tasks?
