Thats CBQ you are describing.

The traffic shaper simply reduces the traffic rate on a path. So you can for
example limit a machine to 64Kbit. With CBQ you can do much more interesting
things. For example you can say things like

telnet/ssh get 50% of the bandwidth if they are using it
that bandwidth is usable by anything otherwise
however never let more than 30% be used by web traffic
