[Bloat] Bismark router + ecn + red tested

Hi,

I got a Linux based router, ZyXEL P2612 (ADSL2+) and also the P2812
(VDSL2) both got an ethernet wan port also.
I can mess around with qdisc on it, since the web ui QoS setup just
creates qdisc settings to correspond.

Can I have a copy of the red settings commands you used?

My router basically creates a HTB with 3 SFQ for the QoS and when I
poked at it, it looked like it would let me change the SFQ to RED.
But at that time, I did not have the time to really poke around with it.

eth0 = LAN interface
ra0 = WLAN interface
eth0.3900 = Ethernet WAN interface



Its got an old kernel, with lots of patches to kernel I think, so not
sure if its easily done to create a new kernel for it either.
