Dave, in the thread referenced earlier that led to this change you said: "The loss of throughput here compared to non-ingress mode is a blocker for mainlining and for that matter, wedging this into lede." I'm curious, what would the latency be in Toke's experiment with non-ingress mode and with the 4 MTU change reverted? The same as for fq_codel?
