you can filter packets by TOS bits and queue them the way you want

OpenBSD is pretty good by default. Traffic with different TOS is separately queued with reasonable priority defaults. So you normally don't have to do anything.

I was a bit surprised that my VOIP stuff was just working when I moved my router from Linux to OpenBSD and had to go looking to figure out why.

state of the art is to put packets into separate queues based on the 4-tuple (src,dst,port) then dequeue them fairly based on packet- and queuesize
