[Bloat] Bismark router + ecn + red tested

I was using a lightly modified version of nbd's qos-scripts package, which
use red

"lightly modified" meant that I had added options to do SFB and the like,
the result I published earlier was just watching "red" work.

It uses a lot of different qdisc types and it actually turned out to be hard
to get red doing its thing. I am working on something simpler.
