I have used PF for a few years on various servers and would like to play
with ALTQ functionality (finally have some time!), yet I read about quite a
few 'bugs' with pf/altq ...
Should I even bother? It is posts such as these that are quite
discouraging! (not hating on poster :) )
I think FreeBSD is the greatest OS ever and I love the functionality (and
syntax) of PF... and would love to see ALTQ throw in to the mix.
