Description Josh Paetzel <josh@tcbug.org> 2007-06-07 20:10:14 UTC

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-apps.html
states that:
Dummynet has traditionally been closely tied with IPFW, and ALTQ with IPF/PF.
Which is incorrect.  IPF has no ALTQ support in FreeBSD (if at all)

Fix: 

Remove the IPF/ from IPF/PF (sorry I don't have time to grab the www
repo and submit the patch that fixes this)

Hi there,

I've done a bit of research into this and from what I can see, there is
no direct support for ALTQ in IPFILTER itself.  However, everything I
could find suggests that ALTQ/PF or DUMMYNET/IPFW can be used in
conjunction with IPFILTER, provided that one is dedicated to traffic
shaping and the other to filtering and NAT.

To that end I've mangled the firewall chapter to update the information
surrounding this particular issue.  

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Marc

  Modified files:
    en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls chapter.sgml 
  Log:
  IPF does not have ALTQ support (or at least not that I and several others
  could find) so remove it from the information, give an example on how
  such a setup can be achieved.
