Hi Jille, Building a DiffServ domain network will require DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) values or bits for packet marking and re-marking for QoS. PF only supports Type-of-Service (TOS) bits.

It seems like ALTQ is tightly coupled with PF. But not whether you can use it entirely without any firewall. > I have read this > http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/altq.html that ALTQ integration in FreeBSD > is in PF-Mode not in COMPAT Mode?

Can't you enable PF, add some firewall rules that passes on all data, and apply the altq's ? afaik pf should not screw up your packets (if you leave all other stuff behind) -- Jille Diego Salvador <salvador_d13@yahoo.com.ph> wrote: To Whom It May Concerned: Hi!
