I recommend (so I haven't done it cos I have no needs up now) use FreeBSD to

Bridging in BSD has more sense than do it in a Linux box.

Can anyone give me some guidelines where to begin, how to limit/shape

It's totally possible,  you can use any script found via google or any of
that are travelling in this mail list.
