PF Which schedulers does the latest version of PF support?

Hello everyone,

ALTQ has been removed. Does it mean that CBQ, HFSC, PRIQ, RED and ECN are no longer applicable? Is FQ-CoDel the latest scheduler?


And is ALTQ the only one available in Freebsd? To use ALTQ, must the kernel be custom built?

Thanks.
 
ALTQ is still in FreeBSD's own implementation of PF as of versions 11.2 and 12-CURRENT. It was dropped by OpenBSD a while ago in OpenBSD 5.6 and they now have their own new system for traffic shaping that uses a slightly different syntax:

You have to be aware of this divergence of implementations between OpenBSD and FreeBSD, the OpenBSD documentation for PF is slowly becoming irrelevant for our own implementation.

Thank you. So what schedulers does OpenBSD support now?
 
I haven't followed OpenBSD in a while so you have to read their documentation to get a picture of what they have now.
