You might try the Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator, found here: 
http://www.bandwidtharbitrator.com/

They make a real effort to produce a "turn-key bandwidth shaper" by default. 
This may be what you are looking for. Unfortunately, this is the only project 
of its kind that I know of. However, the ip binary also can manipulate tc 
constructs and I find its syntax nicer, personally. It is found in the iproute 
package.
