By the way, where is the most recent stable ALTQ for FreeBSD 4.x? 

ALTQ on http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/programs.html is from bronze age at best, seeming more likely from late neolith.

ALTQ in pf is 5.x only, and I didn't find a way to reserve bandwidth for high-priority traffic in dummynet.
