I'm not sure what you mean by "prioritize" but, if you want to simply
limit bandwidth use, try dummynet.  If you want to distribute excess
bandwidth, you'll need ALTQ.
Note that managing traffic from 1 to 2, 3, 4 is quite different from
managing traffic from 2, 3, 4, to 1 since you can't do much about
incoming traffic from a bottleneck.

Another issue is that, as I understand it, the third party driver for
Cronyx Tau replaces "sys/net/if_spppsubr.c" by its own version and
you'll need to merge the ALTQ support by hand.
