It's totally possible, you can use any script found via google or any
of that are travelling in this mail list.
True in a way, but still I was hoping that someone can give me more
specific guidelines what are the possibilities and what's the "best" way
to do it. Since I've already said, that I need to do p2p limiting and
some basic firewalling on data stream in trunked (cisco term. = tagged)
vlan.

vlans on linux as someone said already, is just a basic eth0.x
interface, which you just shape/firewall etc in the same way as a
normal interface.
its not difficult to setup.

hey there. best way to do this is with ebtables + vlans + qos on a linux
box. bsd shaping is basic at best, and junk at worst. altq cannot do
proper shaping over multiple interfaces (couldnt have say 10mbit shared
between 3 or 4 interfaces etc). certainly not in my experience.
linux is far superior for what your wanting to do, can even do layer7
shaping.
vlans on linux as someone said already, is just a basic eth0.x

its not difficult to setup. if you require any more info or help, feel
free to pm me off list. i have this exact setup.
