Use Astaro as a traffic shaper

We have a dedicated 200Mb fiber-optic connection between our main office and a branch office. The connection to the fiber optic box is Gigabit whereas the connection itself is 200 Mb. I'm experiencing a very bad connection, upload speeds are about 10Mb. According to our provider, this is due to the fact that packets are being dropped because of the speed difference between the physical connection and the actual bandwidth. According to them I need a traffic shaper to limit the speed to 200Mb.

Is it possible to use the Astaro QoS capabilities for this? We don't need the firewall functions since it's a point-to-point private connection and doesn't use the internet. So it only has to function as a router with QoS capabilities. Since I have experience with Astaro already I thought it would be nice if I could use it for this also, is this possible?

Franc.
