.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
file contains a number of lines specifying the behavior of queueing
disciplines.
Comments start with a # and extend to the end of the line.
.Pp
The
.Xr altqd 8
program reads
.Pa /etc/altq.conf
at startup and sets up queueing disciplines.
BLUE, CBQ (Class-Based Queueing), FIFOQ (First-In First-Out Queue),
HFSC (Hierarchical Fair Service Curve), PRIQ (Priority Queueing),
RED (Random Early Detection), RIO (RED with IN/OUT),
WFQ (Weighted Fair Queueing),
and CDNR (Diffserv Traffic Conditioner) can be configured in this file.

.Pp
The
.Cm interface
command specifies a network interface to be under control of ALTQ.
One interface specification is provided for each network interface
under control of ALTQ.
A system configured as a router may have multiple interface
specifications.
.Bl -tag -width 8n -offset indent
.It Ar if_name
specifies the name of a network interface (e.g., fxp0).
.It Cm bandwidth
specifies the interface bandwidth in bits per second.
This is the maximum rate that the queueing discipline will allow on this
interface.
.It Cm tbrsize
specifies the bucket size of a token bucket regulator in bytes.
When
.Cm tbrsize
is omitted, the system automatically sets the bucket size
using heuristics.
The token rate is set to the interface bandwidth specified by the

.Ss CBQ Commands
CBQ (Class Based Queueing) achieves both partitioning and sharing of
link bandwidth by hierarchically structured classes.

A child class can borrow bandwidth from its parent class as long as
excess bandwidth is available.

.It Cm efficient
Enables CBQ's link efficiency mode.
This means that the scheduler will send a packet from the first
overlimit class it encounters of all classes of the link-sharing
structure when all classes are overlimit.
This will also cause the scheduler to use greater than it's assigned
bandwidth, if the link is capable of more than the assigned bandwidth.
By default, this mode is turned off.
By adding the keyword
.Cm efficient
to the interface specification line, enables this mode.

Generally should add up to 100 percent at each level of the class
hierarchy, although other amounts can be specified for purposes of
experimentation.
.It Cm exactbandwidth
Specify the bandwidth in bits-per-second instead of
.Cm pbandwidth .
Note that the bandwidth allocation of CBQ is not so precise but this
is just a way to pass a parameter to CBQ; the user is supposed to know
the detailed internals of CBQ.
.Cm pbandwidth
is a preferred way to specify the bandwidth of a class.
.It Cm borrow
The class can borrow bandwidth from its parent class when this class
is overlimit.
If this keyword is not present, then no borrowing is done, and the
packet is delayed or dropped when the class is overlimit.
.It Cm default

When this keyword is present, all packets that do not match some
classification criteria are assigned to this class.
Must be exactly one class on each interface defined as the default
class.
.It Cm control

When this keyword is present, the predefined control class packets
(RSVP, IGMP, and ICMP) are assigned to this class.
Note that when the control class is not specified by the time the

parameters.
Thus, if the control class is specified, it must be listed before the
default class.
Must be exactly one class on each interface defined as the control
class.
.It Cm maxburst

Default is 16 but the default value is automatically reduced to 4 when
the class bandwidth is small (about less than 1Mbps).

queue size of the class.
If not specified, the default max queue size (30 packets) is used.

.Ss HFSC Commands
HFSC (Hierarchical Fair Service Curve) 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.
HFSC has 2 independent scheduling mechanisms.
Real-time scheduling is used to guarantee the delay and the
bandwidth allocation at the same time.
Hierarchical link-sharing is used to distribute the excess
bandwidth.
When dequeueing a packet, HFSC always tries real-time scheduling
first.
If no packet is eligible for real-time scheduling, link-sharing
scheduling is performed.
HFSC does not use class hierarchy for real-time scheduling.

.Ss RIO Commands
ALTQ/RIO has 3 drop precedence levels defined for the Assured
Forwarding of DiffServ (RFC2597).
Since adaptive flows are likely to stay under the medium drop
precedence level under congestion, the medium drop precedence would
protect adaptive flows from unadaptive flows.
.Pp
The original RIO has 2 sets of RED parameters; one for in-profile
packets and the other for out-of-profile packets.
At the ingress of the network, profile meters tag packets as IN
or OUT based on contracted profiles for customers.
Inside the network, IN packets receive preferential treatment by
the RIO dropper.
It is possible to provision the network not to drop IN packets
at all by providing enough capacity for the total volume of IN
packets.
Thus, RIO can be used to provide a service that statistically assures
capacity allocated for users.
This mechanism can be extended to support an arbitrary number of drop
precedence levels. ALTQ supports 3 drop precedence levels.

is a token bucket meter configured with rate and depth parameters.
Rate is token rate in bits-per-second.
Depth is bucket depth in KB.
When an incoming packet is in profile (available token is more than
the packet size), tbmeter takes in_action.
Otherwise, tbmeter takes out_action.

.It Cm trtcm
is a 2-rate 3 color marker for Assured Forwarding.
A trtcm consists of 2 token buckets, one for a committed rate and the
other for a peak rate.
When an incoming packet is in the committed profile, trtcm takes
green_action.
When the packet is out of the committed profile but in the peak
profile, trtcm takes yellow_action.
Otherwise, tbtcm takes red_action.
A trtcm is either color-aware or color-blind.
A color-aware trtcm do not raise the color (ds field value), that is,
a yellow packet can be yellow or red but can not be blue.
Default is color-blind.

.It Cm tswtcm
is a time sliding window 3 color marker for Assured Forwarding.
A tswtcm differs from trtcm in that a tswtcm probabilistically marks
packets.
A tswtcm consists of 2 rates, one for a committed rate and the
other for a peak rate.
When an incoming packet is in the committed profile, tswtcm takes
green_action.
When the packet is out of the committed profile but in the peak
profile, tswtcm takes yellow_action.
Otherwise, tswtcm takes red_action.
cmtd_rate and peak_rate are specified in bits per second.
avg_interval provides the size of time window for averaging incoming
rate, and is specified in milli-second.
500 msec is ok for normal settings.
