let's think it through. prio has really only a non-neglible effect when you are bandwidth constrained. with bandwidth shaping (hfsc underneath), you don't want to overcommit. thus, you are priorizing by picking what traffic goes to what queue and what bandwidth setting those have. mixing in another priorization would have zero (or close to zero) effect. so giving you an extra prio button there would probably make feel you better (like in other implementations), but (also like the others) have no or close to no effect. -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services GmbH, http://bsws.de, Full-Service ISP Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS.
