Issue using altq_priq unter FreeBSD 11.1 - help needed

[Rolf Dahmen]

Hi all,

I´m Rolf Dahmen working as CTO for a german Wifi Service Provider. We do have a certain issue that we are not able to configure QoS to prioritize queues on FreeBSD using pf with altq. My SysOps engineers are stuck in getting it done, so I`m looking forward to get a resolution or any consults onboarded.

We have successfully recompiled the kernel to use pf with altq.

We have configured 5 new queues "allowed, specialip, terminals, freeunlimited, free" to pass the incoming traffic to prioritize the flow. The issue is that always the defined default queue is used but never the user queues.

I do think that our pf.conf is not complete:

       (pf.conf)
altq on igb0 priq queue {allowed, specialip, terminals, freeunlimited, free}
queue free priority 5 priq(red)
queue freeunlimited priority 4 priq(red)
queue terminals priority 3 priq(red)
queue specialip priority 2 priq(red)
queue allowed priority 1 priq(default red)


Gruß,

Rolf Dahmen
Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
