If you're not congested, then don't bother. Just reduce the amount of
bufferring as much as it will go without reducing throughput, and be
happy.
If you see congestion, then try to put an AQM at the bottleneck node.
If you cannot do that, you'll need to artificially throttle your server
(using tbf or htb, if Linux) in order to move the bottleneck, with all
the comfplexity and inefficiency that this entails.
