Queueing. Prioritization. Throttling.

I have hard time configuring these since years now. The fact (or is
it rumour?) that prio works only when physical interface bandwidth is
saturated couldn't be read in manpages, pf faq, or other 'official'
docs, I heard about it by chance:
[https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=145261341431381&w=2]

I still haven't found a way to throttle down queues to desired values
without using fixed min and max values. Adding NAT to the mix
complicates things further. What about queueing of traffic inside GRE
tunnels in transport mode protected with IPSEC? Where to read about it?

Optimistic me believes that devs are too busy making stuff work and
have no time to explain it to us poor admins (by means of manpages,
faqs or howtos). But how can I know how to use it if I can't read about
it anywhere?

Pessimistic me starts to notice that less and less free knowledge can be
found around the 'net. If I want answers to my questions, is the
best way to start saving money for paying OpenBSD consultants hourly
rates for tuition?

If there's any way I could help, don't hesitate to contact me.
