Subject: Re: PF inadequacy: queue download
I don't think time spent developing PF or ALTQ could be better spent
developing something other than download queueing. Everyone here seems
to agree it's PF's worst deficiency.

I'm thinking perhaps there's some messy hack I can come up with using
virtual interfaces, does anyone have any ideas?

> and there are 'lots of people' that care deeply about this

I said lots of people *here*, and there aren't close to 40 here, and
$500 is very steep for an extra box which has to do so little, and this
wouldn't require a whole hackathon to code. I'm not sure why you're
being so resistant to a feature request.

I posted in misc, but no-one was biting, and I've just sent one to
tech.

Interesting, I wonder how difficult it would be to get the
functionality back. Any ideas on why it was dropped in the first place?
