i'd not recommend throttling, unless you deliberately want to do it to prove a point. instead look at qos, to prioritise certain traffic. it can be really complicated, but it can be real simple. there's a tiiiiiny little script out there called the wondershaper, which has some really simple rules using tc to control what's going on. you can explore the tc utility in more depth if you want more control than that provides, or check the linux routing howto (lartc) for all the detail you'd want, including throttling.
