[Bloat] Tuning fq_codel: are there more best practices for slow connections? (<1mbit)

Hi ,Moeller.

Fomula of target is 1643 bytes / 810kbps = 0.015846836.

It added ATM linklayer padding.

16ms plus 4ms as my sence :P

My connection is 12mbps/1mbps ADSL PPPoA line.
and I set 7Mbps/810kbps for bypass router buffer.

I changed Target 27ms Interval 540ms as you say( down delay plus upload 
delay).

It works well  , now .
Thank you.

Yutaka.

But ,  wouldn't it be possible to tune fq_codel punish the large flows 'properly' for this very low bandwidth scenario? Surely <1kb ICMP packets can squeeze through properly without being dropped if there is 350kbps available, if the competing flow is managed correctly.
