Ron,

Good job on QBox. The bucket structure and the documentation is really nice.

I'm using the OpenWRT project QoS features 
(http://wiki.openwrt.org/Faq#head-a1dc7290cc2933f9a4e9f130bb83d1dfb4b761ff) 
which are really, really nice. They use l7-filters 
(http://l7-filters.sourceforge.net) as well as fwmark classification. 
They also use the hfsc scheduler instead of htb.

I personally think that making a pure fwmark QoS scheme for shorewall 
and LEAF would be the way to go. There's little need to muck around with 
cls_u32 rules when you already have iptables and shorewall. Also, for 
small sites with multiple SIP accounts which don't run their own PBX, 
sipproxy should be a nice addition (Eric Spakman kindly created a LEAF 
package of this on my request).

But I'd still be interested in porting QBox to LEAF. That'd give me a 
good starting point for porting the useful OpenWRT features to a 
shorewall/iptables fwmark centric LEAF QoS scheme with l7-filters.
