Description Volodymyr Kostyrko 2016-04-27 17:54:14 UTC 
While support fo CoDel and FairQ is already committed documentation on them is missing. I tried configuring pf.conf using DragonFlyBSD manpage and everything works fine.
Comment 1 Felix Johnson freebsd_triage 2021-10-12 03:47:12 UTC 
These macros are documented in altq(4), since commit:
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/share/man/man4/altq.4?id=0a70aaf8f5d93454d0940a09b94deecd7aa5fa0d

pf(4) and pf.conf(5) include altq(4) in SEE ALSO.

Do we need more clarification in pf and pf.conf, or can this PR be closed?
Comment 2 Volodymyr Kostyrko 2021-10-12 07:26:06 UTC 
I think I meant QUEUEING section in pf.conf describing how to actually use the specified ALTQ scheduler according to pf.conf syntax. Right now FairQ has it's own block of text under QUEUEING on DragonFlyBSD, but FreeBSD has no relevant section, you can just get scheduler names without any hint how to use one and what it's good for.

I hope it can be just pulled from upstream if they have one.
