Very useful recommendation, thanks.

Is there anyway to monitor "set prio" queues? my prio statements don't
seem to make
any effect...

I've just started using queues today with:
OpenBSD 5.6-current (GENERIC.MP) #364: Thu Sep 4 02:57:22 MDT 2014
[email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP
on my home ADSL link (6mbps down/700kbps up) and pf seems to be good at
managing queues as small as 100kbps.
Thanks.
