.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
system is a framework which provides several disciplines for queuing outgoing
|
|
network packets.
|
|
This is done by modifications to the interface packet queues.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr altq 9
|
|
for details.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The user interface for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is implemented by the
|
|
.Xr pfctl 8
|
|
utility, so please refer to the
|
|
.Xr pfctl 8
|
|
and the
|
|
.Xr pf.conf 5
|
|
man pages for a complete description of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
capabilities and how to use it.
|
|
.Ss Kernel Options
|
|
The following options in the kernel configuration file are related to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
operation:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv ALTQ_DEBUG" -compact
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ
|
|
Enable
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_CBQ
|
|
Build the
|
|
.Dq "Class Based Queuing"
|
|
discipline.
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_CODEL
|
|
Build the
|
|
.Dq "Controlled Delay"
|
|
discipline.
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_RED
|
|
Build the
|
|
.Dq "Random Early Detection"
|
|
extension.
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_RIO
|
|
Build
|
|
.Dq "Random Early Drop"
|
|
for input and output.
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_HFSC
|
|
Build the
|
|
.Dq "Hierarchical Packet Scheduler"
|
|
discipline.
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_CDNR
|
|
Build the traffic conditioner.
|
|
This option is meaningless at the moment as the conditioner is not used by
|
|
any of the available disciplines or consumers.
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_PRIQ
|
|
Build the
|
|
.Dq "Priority Queuing"
|
|
discipline.
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_FAIRQ
|
|
Build the
|
|
.Dq "Fair Queuing"
|
|
discipline.
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_NOPCC
|
|
Required if the TSC is unusable.
|
|
.It Dv ALTQ_DEBUG
|
|
Enable additional debugging facilities.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Nm Ns -disciplines
|
|
cannot be loaded as kernel modules.
|
|
In order to use a certain discipline you have to build it into a custom
|
|
kernel.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr pf 4
|
|
interface, that is required for the configuration process of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be loaded as a module.
|
|
.Sh SUPPORTED DEVICES
|
|
The driver modifications described in
|
|
.Xr altq 9
|
|
are required to use a certain network card with
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
They have been applied to the following hardware drivers:
|
|
.Xr ae 4 ,
|
|
.Xr age 4 ,
|
|
.Xr alc 4 ,
|
|
.Xr ale 4 ,
|
|
.Xr an 4 ,
|
|
.Xr aue 4 ,
|
|
.Xr axe 4 ,
|
|
.Xr bce 4 ,
|
|

|
|

|
|
.Xr bxe 4 ,
|
|
.Xr cas 4 ,
|
|
.Xr cxgbe 4 ,
|
|
.Xr dc 4 ,
|
|
.Xr em 4 ,
|
|
.Xr epair 4 ,
|
|
.Xr et 4 ,
|
|
.Xr fxp 4 ,
|
|

.Xr vge 4 ,
|
|
.Xr vr 4 ,
|
|
.Xr vte 4 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr xl 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr tun 4
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ng_iface 4
|
|
pseudo drivers also do support
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr vlan 4
|
|
driver does not directly support
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
but as packets (mbufs) are passed to the underlying interface, a queue
|
|
can be defined for the underlying interface, and any packets directed
|
|
to the queue will be processed at the interface level.
|
|
An example:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
altq on igb0 cbq queue { def aq }
|
|
queue def bandwidth 90% cbq (default borrow)
|
|
queue aq bandwidth 10Mb cbq
|
|
|
|
pass in on igb0.10 proto udp all queue aq keep state

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
system first appeared in March 1997 and found home in the KAME project
|
|
(http://www.kame.net).
|
|
It was imported to
|
|
.Fx
|
|
in 5.3 .
