<![CDATA[ALTQ or PF question]]>hello

i found this line in my logs:

Apr 8 09:07:59 php: There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCADDALTQ: Cannot allocate memory - The line in question reads [ DIOCADDALTQ]:

Is there limited number of rules or queues in traffic shapper?

edit:
i made a small modification in file /etc/inc/filter.inc and this error disappears.
/* –------------
                              $ipfrules .= "anchor {$queue['name']} tagged {$queue['name']}\n";
                                $ipfrules .= "load anchor {$queue['name']} from "{$g['tmp_path']}/{$queue['name']}.rules"\n"
;
*/

is this "anchor thing" required?

/usr/src/sys/contrib/altq/altq/altq_hfsc.h

Not sure what would happen when you raise the limit but I have heard others have had success in doing so.

This is much easier with dummynet than with altq.

ALTQ is not the right shaper to do this. Maybe as long as dummynet doesn't work in pfSense (this won't change for 1.2) m0n0wall would better suite your needs.

is there any possibility to shape upload bandwith for 300 users (128kbit/s per user)….
if not... this situation will change at release 1.2 of pfsense?
