To what point, depends on your environment. Maybe the pf.conf(5) man page needs to be adjusted to reflect the statement below and set the std queue to 10M (but that is up to the project to decide): "All bandwidth values must be specified as an absolute value. The suffixes K, M, and G are used to represent bits, kilobits, megabits, and gigabits per second, respectively. The value must not exceed the interface bandwidth." Cheers.
