One awesome thing about this is that the changes are made in real-time, so if somebody is hogging your bandwidth you can do this trick without having to restart your network or even lose connection of open sockets. This is great for when torrents are killing your surfing speeds, when somebody begins leeching your web-share, etc., because you don't have to kill those active connections to gain the benefit of throttling. This also allows you to use a real-time graph to view the difference your rule is making so you can tweak if necessary.
