Hi Chris (and FreeBSD-pf members), Thanks for the advice! Truth be told, I am quite lost right now. But before I give up, could you please point me in the right direction? 1) Figuring out if ALTQ is separable from pf is a little abstract to me. Is there a definitive experiment to perform to answer this question? Currently, I'm just looking and taking note of the differences between NetBSD's and FreeBSD's pf/altq code. What other steps should I be taking? 2) What are some indications that a port will fail/work? When I find a difference between NetBSD's and FreeBSD's code, I've already discovered several, what questions should I ask myself to determine whether or not the difference will be an issue or not. I'm sorry if these questions seem trivial or basic. I am truly appreciative of all your time and help.
