N0mantech does a very good job. He shows how to configure the up and down bit rates for his IPfire router, the effect without and after turning it on. (He sort of skips over how the SQM allows it to control download buffering, but shows that it works.)

His conclusion: "The solution to having low latency is to have a router that has AQM in it." Pretty on-target.
