In fact, that's why I put a failsafe into ingress mode, so that it would never stall completely.  It can happen, however, that throughput is significantly reduced when the drop rate is high.

If throughput is more important to you than induced latency, switch to egress mode.

Unfortunately it's not possible to guarantee both low latency and high throughput when operating downstream of the bottleneck link.  ECN gives you better results, though.
