I can attest to this, having actually watched it in action.

I spoke with Cho-san here last week regarding his work and future 
directions.  He is very emphatic about both the ongoing development of 
ALTQ and its use in deployed systems.  I believe that the FreeBSD core 
are interested in incorporating his work when he feels it is ready.  

If you want to hear more about ALTQ, Cho Kenjiro will be talking about it 
at USENIX this year.  We hope also to hear from Ito Jun-ichiro about 
the WIDE group's IPv6 work at an IPv6 BOF and/or the FreeBSD BOF.

Certainly for the low-middle end routing server market, FreeBSD does a  
reasonable job.  We could route IPX a bit better, perhaps. 8)

I will say that is, indeed, the very last thing we need.
