I've taken a look at getting ALTQ and ipfilter to work
together. However, the most obvious way to get ipfilter to interface
with ALTQ (namely, having ipfilter figure out under which ALTQ class
packets should go, so that you're not examining the packets twice)
unfortunately has the problem that the ALTQ classes are only
distinguished via a human-comprehensible form (numbering) until they
go into the kernel; they're then no longer numbered. Otherwise, you
could just have an ipfilter action to put them into the appropriate
class via an added mbuf field or whatever.
