And for codel, if all packets are ECN enabled, there is no 'drop' on a
pure TCP_RR workload, you endup codel downgraded to pfifo

An idea would be following :

If sojourn_time is above a new limit (say ecn_threshold), drop packet no
matter it is ECN capable or not.

This still gives incentive to ECN flows, but allow drops in case all
flows are ECN.

target = 5ms ;
ecn_threshold = target * 2;
interval = 100ms;
