red is something i liked the sound of, but stopped using because i think i didn't understand fully its implications on a bandwidth-queue. afaict, if red is on a cbq(/hfsc?) queue which is designed as a bandwidth partition, the bandwidth consumed by the queue will never reach the cap, but will be reduced with some calculus asymptote lines or something as it approaches it. could be way wrong too - i'm going on my interpretation of the effect it had on queues as i watched/tested them. > I have to admit, though, that I couldn't find any simple explanation of > HFSC with regard to PF, so I had to guess my way through setting it up. hfsc has a very steep learning curve, but i believe that is partially its nature. for me it seems it demands you get your head around it, rather than trying to be a bit easier to understand and missing a bit of the picture. the crossbow site is excellent for this, but seems to take several reads through to sink in fully. jared -- [ openbsd 3.6 GENERIC ( jan 13 ) // i386 ]
