I've never seen the ALTQ code or implementation, so I'm commenting in ignorance.. Having got that out of the way, it was explained to me the importance of being able to apply different 'shaping' procedures to different IP protocols. ie: RED (I was told 'Random Early Drop') for tcp, and some other rate limit function for udp. I'd really love to see an implementation that does this, if they don't already. > -Allen Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
