Hi there,
I recently switched to PF and ALTQ from IPF. The only thing I cannot get to work is the Quality of Servie issue. I have actually thought it is alright now, but looking at a normal hardware router of my friend, I believe I did not succeed :-(. This hardware router does the job much better, even without QoS or taffic shaping of any kind.
The only thing I'm trying to accomplish is to make sure real time online game connections do not time out when someone else is using the bandwith for sending a big e-mail etc.
If I do so here with FreeBSD 5.3 / PF / ALTQ packets of the online game go up to a ping of infinite (999). However normal ICMP ping sent from the console only go up to something around 150-200 ms. So the "in-game" packets seem to be much more infected. Without altq ICMP ping goes up to 500, if someone is using the bandwith at the same time. So it is kinda working.
If I do so behind that hardware router without any kind of traffic shaping, the in-game ping only goes up to 150 ms. So queueing seems to be much more effective there.
So, as I am out of ideas, attached you find the interesting part of my config... hopefully someone can explain to me what I'm missing.
Cheers, Jochen
