different technologies have different answers. BQL is an answer to
ethernet. ADSL benefits from closely tieing buffering to being nearly
zero and to signalling the actual packet delivery from the hardware.

Wifi, well, I don't want to talk about wifi...

you have no control. The tx queue rings are flooded before control is
handed back to the fq_codel scheduler. You can get some control back
on a non-BQL driver by reducing the number of tx descriptors
dramatically, but that leads to issues with small vs big packets....

Be worthwhile to plot BQL vs non-BQL on the same driver/device....
