+.Sh ALTQ Support
+The

+interface supports ALTQ bandwidth management feature.
+However,
+.Nm
+is a special case, since it is not a physical interface with limited bandwidth.
+One should not turn ALTQ on
+.Nm
+if the latter corresponds to some tunneled connection, e.g. PPPoE or PPTP.
+In this case ALTQ should be configured on the interface, that is used to

+synchronous or modem, then
+.Nm
+is the right place to turn ALTQ on.
