Yes, I have thought about many improvements to the linux based policer
with "bobbie", including this one.

Still, prior to running out of cpu with inbound shaping + fq_codel on
the cpe side, we were doing so well that I basically figured that the
same stuff was also very applicable to the isp's side, particularly as
we approached higher rates.

Matt Mathis is always whinging about bad policer implementations
showing up in the google mlabs datasets... certainly linux's is
insanely primitive even compared to the rfcs.

So I am curious as to how well A&A's AS20712 (?) clients are doing on
the new dslreports.com/speedtest, which shows the "bloat" grade and
actual behavior over time?

And I think dslreports is now publishing summary statistics somewhere??

 shibbolet!
