How does this all relate to "altq"? I saw a notice of a new version on
-hackers today:
A new release of ALTQ (finally version 1.0.1!) is available from
http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/software.html
or

The release includes:
alternate queueing support for FreeBSD-2.2.[1256]R kernel.
CBQ, WFQ, RED, and FIFOQ implementations
tools for CBQ
RSVP stubs for CBQ
