Delay Pools and Firewall is just a traffic shaping
not a Bandwidth Management System (BMS)
which can share idle bandwidth from upper class.

to do this (sharing idle bandwidth)
you need to use 3rd party application
like CBQ (Class Based Queueing) or
HTB (Hierarchial Token Bucket)
and usually combination with your firewall.

you may check which BMS is available for your platform,
but I need to tell you this, BMS will eat up your resources
(processor, memory, hard drive transaction, etc).
