from the little i know about setting up QoS it's geared towards shaping
traffic that you send out.  it's not quite as good at doing 'random'
packets that arrive to you from somewhere you have no control over.
have a look at the ingress Qdisc ( nothing todo with the database )

if i understand it all correctly, it's upto how your ISP buffer's
packets on their routers, before they are ultimately sent to you.

have a look at http://www.lartc.org for info on setting up traffic
shapping.
