NAME
altqd -- ALTQ daemon SYNOPSIS
altqd [-dv] [-f conf_file] DESCRIPTION
altqd is a daemon program that reads a configuration file and then sets up the ALTQ state of network interfaces. After configuring the ALTQ state, altqd will detach and become a daemon. The signals SIGINT or SIGTERM will shutdown altqd, and the signal SIGHUP will restart altqd. The following options are available: -d Debug mode. altqd does not detach and goes into the command mode. -f conf_file Specify a configuration file to read instead of the default. The default file is /etc/altq.conf. -v Print debugging information. This option implies -d. COMMANDS
When -d option is provided, altqd goes into the command mode after reading the configuration file and setting up the ALTQ state. Each com- mand is a single line, starting with the command verb. The basic commands are as follows: help | ? Display a complete list of commands and their syntax. quit Exit. altq reload Reload the configuration file and reinitialize ALTQ. altq interface [enable|disable] Enables or disables ALTQ on the interface named interface. When altqd enters the command mode, ALTQ is enabled on all the interfaces listed in the configuration file. FILES

NAME
altq -- alternate queuing framework SYNOPSIS
options ALTQ options ALTQ_BLUE options ALTQ_CBQ options ALTQ_CDNR options ALTQ_FIFOQ options ALTQ_FLOWVALVE options ALTQ_HFSC options ALTQ_LOCALQ options ALTQ_PRIQ options ALTQ_RED options ALTQ_RIO options ALTQ_WFQ DESCRIPTION
The altq framework provides several disciplines for queuing outgoing network packets. While traffic shaping is perhaps the most prominent example, altq provides also other measures related to QoS. The framework has been integrated to the pf(4) packet filter since NetBSD 4.0. At the implementation level altq modifies the interface packet queues. Therefore the driver modifications described in altq(9) are required in order to use a certain network card with altq. FILES
