Thanks for the details!

Given that DOCSIS 3.1 (released initially in 2013) has many revisions -
https://specification-search.cablelabs.com/CM-SP-MULPIv3.1?v=03 -  and
low-latency DOCSIS and L4S was added in 2019 (CM-SP-MULPIv3.1-I17-190121),
I had been under the impression that the PIE AQM for upstream traffic was
also added in some later revision. But I do see now that the PIE AQM for
upstream traffic was in Annex M of the initial 3.1 spec
(CM-SP-MULPIv3.1-I01-131029).

Does anyone happen to know if (and if so, how widely) the major cable ISPs
world-wide enable the upstream PIE AQM functionality?
