I'm not sure ALTQ makes sense on a gif interface. ALTQ's operation depends on being fairly close to the point where packets hit the wire and gif is quite a ways from there (since it's riding on top of IP). I don't think there would be any objection to adding support, but gif does not have have a maintainer so you'd have to convince someone to find it intresting (or figure it out yourself.) I gather the changes aren't all that complex in general. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE. PGP fingerprint 655D 519C 26A7 82E7 2529 9BF0 5D8E 8BE9 F238 1AD4
