If you really want to set all the resources to a particular IP address, you can achieve it using tc command. But is it worth spending the time on it, it's upto you. :)

From man page of tc command,

Description

Tc is used to configure Traffic Control in the Linux kernel. Traffic Control consists of the following:

SHAPING When traffic is shaped, its rate of transmission is under control. Shaping may be more than lowering the available bandwidth - it is also used to smooth out bursts in traffic for better network behaviour. Shaping occurs on egress.

SCHEDULING By scheduling the transmission of packets it is possible to improve interactivity for traffic that needs it while still guaranteeing bandwidth to bulk transfers. Reordering is also called prioritizing, and happens only on egress.

POLICING Where shaping deals with transmission of traffic, policing pertains to traffic arriving. Policing thus occurs on ingress.

DROPPING Traffic exceeding a set bandwidth may also be dropped forthwith, both on ingress and on egress. Processing of traffic is controlled by three kinds of objects: qdiscs, classes and filters.
