Hi,

  For my diploma exam I will study the state of QoS in today's
networking and further directions and I probably will concentrate on
ALTQ in FreeBSD (as I'm pretty familiar w/ FreeBSD).

  I see that most of today's OSes have a default QoS implementation (at
least Win2000 and OpenBSD come to my mind) and there is a growing need
for QoS integration into the OS. I was wondering what kept FreeBSD from
integrating a QoS implementation (as it did with Kame IPv6) -- for
example what are pro and cons of integration ALTQ in FreeBSD (I saw
there was a thread launched sometime in the beginning of May 2001). I
also saw that ALTQ on FreeBSD seems to be used pretty much even in
production.

  What other QoS implementation alternatives are available for FreeBSD ?
Why didn't FreeBSD follow tracks along OpenBSD's integration of ALTQ ?

  I would be delighted to know that FreeBSD will integrate a QoS
implementation (ALTQ) and I would like to contribute in this direction.

 Thank you,
 Ady (@freebsd.ady.ro)
