Yu, it does. Very nice explanation, thanx.


NP. Thanks.


Well, it's actually quite simple: our internet access line, which is used
by several people (directly, without a proxy server, but with a FreeBSD
firewall). Our management wants to block unwanted traffic (so not: wants
to block unwanted sited - which would be very easy), like p2p and online
radio, since this traffic is:
- non business related
- bandwidth consuming

In that case you don't need QoS at all.

Just use pf for it.

Refer to the first mail I sent in this thread. All the info you need is
right there.

Don't worry about altq.

Best,
Girish
