either comes from:

                altq = pool_get(&pf_altq_pl, PR_NOWAIT);
                if (altq == NULL) {
                        error = ENOMEM;
                        break;
                }

which means no more pool memory available, thus memory exhaustion in 
this area, or from he discipline specific add functions, but if you 
didn't tell us what scheduler you use nobody can tell you. and they 
only set ENOMEM on malloc/pool_get failures too, so you must have a 
memory problem.
