I'm not sure if I can do something in the following situation:

|Our network| |Other Network|
      | |
|Linux router|---|RouterX|---<Slow Connection>---|RouterY|

Our network is connection to another network via a very slow 64kbit
connection. The last router I have access to is the Linux router,
everything else, including RouterX and Y are not accessible. Users are
complaining about very slow connections espescially when someone
starts a large file up- or download.

In terms of configuration I know how I can prioritizing certain
traffic to improve response time. My question is: Can I do something
even if I don't sit at the bottleneck? As my router is connected to
both sides with 100Mbit, it should be difficult to prioritize traffic,
or am I wrong?
