Hello, everyone!

I'm a newbie just now for using OpenBSD pf, and I have a little problem with queuing. The OpenBSD pf FAQ says "the queueing is only useful for packets in the outbound direction. Once a packet arrives on an interface in the inbound direction it's already too late to queue it -- it's already consumed network bandwidth to get to the interface that just received it." But I have found in this tutorial and in Peter Hansteen's pf tutorial some examples, where queueing was set up on the inbound direction too (and int the internal interface of the firewall too).

http://openbsd.org/faq/pf/queueing.html#example2
http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/en/altqbypct.html

So, is it possible to queueing packets on the inbound direction, or there is something special, which I didn't understand correctly?

Thanks!

Peter Vas
