man pf.conf

Look for set tos. Just a few lines below set prio in the man age,

You can have more then 8 if you need/have to.

Only useful if devices upstream of the PF router know their available
bandwidth and can do some QoS themselves.


Same can be said for CoS as well. You can only control what's going out of your own network. After that as soon as it reach your ISP or what not, you have no clue if they reset everything or not.

At a minimum ToS can cross routers, CoS not so much unless it is build for it.

Either way, your QoS will kick in when bandwidth is starving, so if you don't know that, what's the point...
