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

     /etc/altq.conf	 configuration file
     /var/run/altqd.pid  pid of the running altqd
     /var/run/altq_quip  Unix domain socket for communicating with altqstat(1)

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
