Sounds a lot like a potential applicability for DiffServ marking, letting
the users configure (with a few rules) how the ISP should prioritize the
packets going towards the customer?  Do this through a web page, install
the rules on a router, and you're done.

From the IETF perspective, the problem may be that there is no IETF
problem (requiring standards action, etc.) as such..

Btw, I, too, would be interested to hear why the end-host/distributed 
firewalling BOF/WG died off..  it had a lot of promise (but a lot of 
difficult problems, as well)..
