from a routing or host perspective?  I do simple inbound/outbound "QoS"
with iptables' TOS (type of service) flag (now superseded by DSCP), but
on a router it would be much more different and detailed.  Still, from a
single host standpoint TOS marking and "prioritization" can improve
traffic flow across a busy interface.

Here is a good overview page from Cisco:

I would be more than willing to do a ALE meeting on this, but it's not
really all that much to cover. ;-)
