I implemented altq's priq a while back in the hope of "speeding up" my
overall 'net connection by prioritizing empty TCP ACKs. However, I
noticed that I was never coming close to my 256Kb/s upload cap since I
did this and looked into it a little bit further today.
I don't know if you've got ADSL, but for my own case I got 1024/256
ADSL, and I have actually set the up-limit to 180Kbit/s to get useful
latency-rates (together with priq queues). Because empty TCP ACKs is
much about how fast the packets get sent to the destination - this
becomes relevant.
Try it, and tell us about your result! :-)
