Could someone briefly explain how to use QoS on Cisco ASA 5505? I have the basics of policing down, but what about shaping and priorities? Basically what I'm trying to do is carve out some bandwidth for my VPN subnets (in an object-group called priority-traffic).

I've seen this Cisco QoS document, however configuring shaping and priority-queue don't seem to have any effects in my test. A full download of the linux kernel from kernel.org will boost a ping to a server via VPN sky high. Policing has been successful in passing this test, although it doesn't seem as efficient (I cap non-vpn traffic at 3 of my 4.5 megabits of bandwidth). Am I misunderstanding the results of the test? I think there is some simple concept I'm not grasping here.

EDIT:

Here is my config thus far (I have 4.5 megabits of bandwidth):

access-list priority-traffic extended permit ip object-group priority-traffic any 
access-list priority-traffic extended permit ip any object-group priority-traffic 
access-list priority-traffic extended permit icmp object-group priority-traffic any 
access-list priority-traffic extended permit icmp any object-group priority-traffic 
access-list non-priority-traffic extended deny ip object-group priority-traffic any 
access-list non-priority-traffic extended deny ip any object-group priority-traffic 
access-list non-priority-traffic extended permit ip any any
