Yep, proper distribution with altq disabled.

That's pretty unfortunate, though ... It means that I'm forced to deal =
with the Comcast's buffer management which allows for more buffer bloat =
and is less deterministic about what packets get dropped.

I'm assuming that this won't get fixed due to PF generally not being =
maintained these days -- is there any other solution for shaping with =
active queue management (preferably RED) on FreeBSD to use instead of =
altq? Dummynet obviously has problems of it's own.

In any event - thanks for your help.
