Hey, I have pf running as the firewall on a web and IRC box. I'd like to setup a bit of prioritization. I want ssh to be a higher priority than any other traffic. I've read up on Class Based Queuing and Priority Queuing. If I understand it correctly, priority queuing will transfer ALL packets with higher priority before ANY of the lower-priority packets. So if I'm transferring a file via SCP, all other traffic will stop until the transfer is complete? I don't want other traffic to stop completely, I just want ssh to have a higher priority. Should I use class-based then? Thanks for suggestions/help.
