freebsd-dev/share/examples/pf/ackpri
Max Laier 9d7ccc0ffa Bring in some examples (and create space for future work here):
- Add OpenBSD example rulesets as advertised in etc/pf.conf and pf.conf(5)
- Tweak the pointer to fit the FreeBSD default location share/examples/pf
- Account for the new directory in BSD.usr.dist (no hier(7) change required
  as share/examples is an opaque item there).

# Use a simple priority queue to prioritize empty (no payload) TCP ACKs,
# which dramatically improves throughput on (asymmetric) links when the
# reverse direction is saturated. The empty ACKs use an insignificant
# part of the bandwidth, but if they get delayed, downloads suffer
# badly, so prioritize them.
# Example: 512/128 kbps ADSL. Download is 50 kB/s. When a concurrent
# upload saturates the uplink, download drops to 7 kB/s. With the
# priority queue below, download drops only to 48 kB/s.
# Replace lo0 with your real external interface
ext_if="lo0"
# For a 512/128 kbps ADSL with PPPoE link, using "bandwidth 100Kb"
# is optimal. Some experimentation might be needed to find the best
# value. If it's set too high, the priority queue is not effective, and
# if it's set too low, the available bandwidth is not fully used.
# A good starting point would be real_uplink_bandwidth * 90 / 100.
