-.It Cd option ALTQ_HFSC
-Enables ALTQ's HFSC (Hierarchical Fair Service Curve) module.
-HFSC supports both link-sharing and guaranteed real-time services.
-H-FSC employs a service curve based QoS model, and its unique feature
-is an ability to decouple delay and bandwidth allocation.
-.It Cd option ALTQ_PRIQ
-Enables ALTQ's PRIQ (Priority Queuing) module.
-PRIQ implements a simple priority-based queuing.
-A higher priority class is always served first.
-.It Cd option ALTQ_WFQ
-Enables ALTQ's WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing) module.
-WFQ implements a weighted-round robin scheduler for a set of queues.
-A weight can be assigned to each queue to give a different proportion
-of the link capacity.
-A hash function is used to map a flow to one of a set of queues.
-.It Cd option ALTQ_FIFOQ
-Enables ALTQ's FIFO queue module.
-FIFOQ is a simple drop-tail FIFO queue.

-.It Cd option ALTQ_BLUE
-Enables ALTQ's Blue module.
-Blue is another active buffer management mechanism.
-.It Cd option ALTQ_FLOWVALVE
-Enables ALTQ's Flowvalve module.
-Flowvalve is a simple implementation of a RED penalty box that identifies

-.It Cd option ALTQ_CDNR
-Enables ALTQ's CDNR (diffserfv traffic conditioner) module.
-Traffic conditioners are components to meter, mark, or drop incoming
-packets according to some rules.
-As opposed to queuing disciplines, traffic conditioners handle incoming
-packets at an input interface.
.It Cd option ALTQ_NOPCC
Disables use of processor cycle counter (e.g., Pentium TSC on i386 and
PCC on alpha) to measure time in ALTQ.
