	ALTQ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ALTQ is an ALTernate Queueing framework for BSD UNIX.
		ALTQ provides queueing disciplines and other QoS related components required to realize resource-sharing and Quality of Service.
		ALTQ is included in the base distribution of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and is integrated into the PF packet filter of OpenBSD.

	EuroBSDCon 2004: Talks as list
		ALTQ, standing for "ALTernate Queueing", is a framework of (network) queueing disciplines and related components required to offer resource sharing and Quality of Service capabilities.
		Although in the recent years there were some attempts to push the ALTQ sources into the FreeBSD CVS tree, things slowed down due to unavailable developing work-time and major changes in the networking stack being scheduled in the 5-CURRENT tree.
		Some of the biggest challenges that ALTQ poses are the modifications to the network drivers needed to enable the shaping of the packet flows and figuring out the locking changes needed for the new fine-grained architecture of the -CURRENT branch.

	Altq ruleset for use with Vonage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		altq on $ext_if priq bandwidth 242Kb queue { std_out, phil_out, vonage_out, tcp_ack_out }
		Altq prioritization works from 1-15 with 15 being the highest priority, thus in the above segement tcp_ack_out is the highest priority traffic, and so on down to phil_out, which is low man on the totem pole.
		Also, altq has the ability to reserve a certain amount of bandwidth for the various queues, but I felt no need to do so, simply prioritizing Vonage traffic over the rest was sufficient.

	Directing traffic with ALTQ
		ALTQ - short for ALTernate Queueing - is a very flexible mechanism for directing network traffic which lived a life of its own before getting integrated into PF.
		Altq was another one of those things which were integrated into PF because of the additional convenience it offered when integrated.
		On FreeBSD, ALTQ requires the ALTQ and queue discipline options for the disciplines you want to use to be compiled into the running kernel.

	The OpenBSD Packet Filter (PF) and ALTQ
		PF is a complete, fully featured firewall that has optional support for ALTQ (Alternate Queuing).
		ALTQ is only available by compiling the options into the FreeBSD Kernel.
		ALTQ is not supported by all of the available network card drivers.

	Traffic Shaping with pf ...
		You identify that the http packets are those that you prefer over the pings, and tell ALTQ to drop incoming pings exceeding, say, a harmless rate of 64 kbit/s and reserve the rest for the more important http packets.
		In fact, if you tell your ALTQ box to limit one stream to, say, 128 kbit/s, and drop all excess packets, that peer will (eventually, by trial and error) come to the conclusion that sending you packets at a rate of about 128 kbit/s is the optimal thing to do.
		If you want to do this with ALTQ, you can do so by limiting outgoing packets on the "other" interface, assuming the box is forwarding all packets between two interfaces.

	benzedrine.cx - Prioritizing ACKs
		ALTQ is a framework to manage queueing disciplines on network interfaces.
		While ALTQ was part of OpenBSD and has been enabled by default since several releases, the next release will merge the ALTQ and pf configuration into a single file and let pf assign packets to queues.
		Next, altq is enabled on the interface using the priq scheduler, and the upstream bandwidth is specified.

	OpenBSD: ALTQ Merged With PF \| KernelTrap
		"altq will continue to do what it already does (manipulating output queues on network interfaces, limiting bandwidth of specified categories of traffic), but pf will assign the packets to the queues.
		Here's how it works: You enable altq on an interface in pf.conf, you define child queues, and assign packets to queues on filter rules.
		The root queue you needed to specify in the old altq is now created implicitely from the interface specification.

		OpenBSD's pf architect and developer Daniel Hartmeier provides an excellent explanation in response to Matthew Grooms question as to why ALTQ only works on traffic passing outbound on an interface when implementing the issue of traffic shaping with pf.
		ALTQ is a framework to manage queueing disciplines on network interfaces.
		ALTQ was merged with PF, the OpenBSD stateful packet filter, in order to use the resource-sharing and QoS functionality.

	1 ALTQ Diff-Serv Implementation
		The ALTQ kernel developed by Kenjiro Cho of Sony Research is a modified FreeBSD kernel that provides support for several queueing disciplines.
		The implementation of 2-bit diff-serv in the ALTQ kernel contained a number of problems that had to be addressed before we could begin generating useful experimental results,.
		Testing BE vs. PR was the "easiest" test of the ALTQ code that we could perform, in the sense that implementing two FIFOs should be more straightforward then implementing the double accounting needed for running red on the BE and AF flows.

	Multimedia Networks Group: The QoSbox
		A PC-router running ALTQ with the JoBS queuing discipline is a QoSbox (see answer to Question 3.1).
		For now, JoBS is part of ALTQ (as of ALTQ-3.1), and the KAME SNAP kits (October 28, 2002, and later).
		Inclusion of ALTQ in the FreeBSD base distribution is a work-in-progress, and should happen with either FreeBSD 5.1 or 6.0.

	Trafikkregulering med ALTQ
		ALTQ - forkortelse for ALTernate Queueing - er en svært fleksibel trafikkstyringsmekanisme som levde et eget liv før den ble integrert i PF.
		Når ALTQ ser en pakke med lav ønsket forsinkelse og køer med forskjellige prioriteter er tilgjengelige, tilordner den pakken til køen med høyest prioritet.
		På FreeBSD krever ALTQ alternativene for ALTQ og de kødisiplinene du vil bruke er med i konfigurasjonen for kjernen som er i bruk.

	Geek Style: Traffic Management Tips
		If you are living in *BSD world and you are also doing network stuff for your personal use or at work, chances are high you know dummynet and use ipfw and dummynet for traffic management.
		If you need to do more complex traffic management, ALTQ from Kenjiro Cho is your pal.
		Unlike Dummynet, ALTQ is not built into FreeBSD distribution by default and its a little bit tricky to make it work in FreeBSD.

	Re: AltQ
		I ported ALTQ to OpenBSD several months ago, based mostly on the code used to run ALTQ on NetBSD.
		I submitted this back to the author, through his work it evolved along with several other parts of ALTQ to become version 2.1.
		I asked Kenjiro Cho, author of ALTQ, why not do its work at ether_input() and ether_output(), and he said: "Packet scheduling should be done from a driver interrupts (tx complete interrupts) and it is if_start (xx_start in the driver) in the BSD systems." On Mon, 24 Jan 2000, Thierry Deval wrote:
