Hi, For something like this, where you're wanting to do bandwidth capping, you're probably better off with something like CBQ, which supports limits. It sounds like you want soft limits of 4% (a fair slice, when 25 users are present) and hard limits of 25%. Another option would be to use WRR and then use pattern-matching in Netfilter to set the hard limit. Part of the problem is that there are a very large number of "Quality of Service" protocols, of which Linux supports some, but that there is no really clear cheat-sheet on what to use when, what works well with what, and what capabilities each QoS method has.
