After a bandwidth incident a few hours ago, I'm starting to look at doing
some queuing on my (unfortunately) asynchronous link at home. But as I'm
doing so, I've got a few questions. I'm not interested in bandwidth
limitations, so it looks like priq is likely my best bet.
If I declare my altq as such (my DSL modem gives me an upstream of 800Kbps):
altq on $ext_if priq bandwidth 700Kb queue { default, high, bittorrent,
vpn, pubservices }
queue default priority 3 priq(default)
queue high priority 7
queue bittorrent priority 0
queue vpn priority 4
queue pubservices priority 5
Then I create a queue with a bandwidth limit of 700Kbps. Does priq fully
ignore /all/ bandwidth limitations, or just not accept limitations on the
defined queues? The man page is a little vague on this point, and I'm not
sure if the bandwidth declaration defined by altq is adhered to or not (I
would think it is, but a quick test indicates it isn't).
