    There are a few things with linux's iproute2 traffic shaping that aren't
    possible with ALTQ. Most specifically shaping on tun devices. Although
    that might have changed recently, haven't been following things
    recently.

    Also, it have some finer-grain CBQ/etc 'filters' and source-based
    routing. Its likely though that the extra stuff is useful only 10% of
    the time.
