[AusNOG] iinet shaping / traffic prioritisation

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

1500 limiter on tails in congested areas..  You can spike above that for
short periods if pulling from a local source, but then it clamps back down
pretty quickly.

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
