I don't think time spent developing PF or ALTQ could be better spent developing something other than download queueing. Everyone here seems to agree it's PF's worst deficiency.
I'm thinking perhaps there's some messy hack I can come up with using virtual interfaces, does anyone have any ideas? > and there are 'lots of people' that care deeply about this I said lots of people *here*, and there aren't close to 40 here, and $500 is very steep for an extra box which has to do so little, and this wouldn't require a whole hackathon to code. I'm not sure why you're being so resistant to a feature request. > By all means, try it. There are more readers (and developers) on the misc@ > and tech@ lists, so I'd start there. I posted in misc, but no-one was biting, and I've just sent one to tech. > Stock altq could put token buckets on input interfaces for rate > limiting purposes, referred to as the "traffic conditioner" (CDNR). > That capability was removed when the classifier was merged with pf. > > Old messages that might be relevant: > http://www.benzedrine.cx/pf/msg02871.html > http://www.benzedrine.cx/pf/msg07159.html (bottom) Interesting, I wonder how difficult it would be to get the functionality back. Any ideas on why it was dropped in the first place? Kestas
