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.
