To Whom It May Concerned:

Hi! Is it possible to use ALTQ in FreeBSD without PF? Because what I want to
achieve is to build a QoS system/machine in a Diffserv or Intserv network 
without firewall. It seems like ALTQ is tightly coupled with PF. I have read this
http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/altq.html that ALTQ integration in FreeBSD 
is in PF-Mode not in COMPAT Mode? Can someone elaborate the difference
between these types of modes? The info describes FreeBSD-5, Is it still 
affecting FreeBSD-6.2/6.3 and FreeBSD-7.0 releases? In NetBSD, ALTQ 
can be used without PF or other means of firewall.

Thank you very much!
