[WISPA] pf / ALTQ for controlling torrent deluge
I'm looking for a simple (and FREE) solution to deprioritize torrent traffic for several work environments, and looking around, I'm thinking of using something like BSD's pf/ALTQ. Any feedback on this particular tool for this purpose? This isn't to throttle subscribers' networks, as much as it is to keep small office traffic usable. -- Also on LinkedIn?
