And going from 12 to 7 is also quite extreme, given that the ATM link layer adjustments will cost you another 9% of bandwidth. Then again 12/1 might be the contracted maximal rate, what are the sync rates as reported by your modem?
Link speed is
11872 bps download
832 bps upload

Why I reduce download 12 to 7 , Because according to this page, please 
see espesially download rate.
But I know that I can let around 11mbps download rate work :)
And I will set 11mbps for download
>> I changed Target 27ms Interval 540ms as you say( down delay plus upload delay).

The idea (and please anybody correct me if I am wrong) is that interval should be long enough for both end points to realize a drop/ecn marking, in essence that would be the RTT of a flow (plus a small add-on to allow some variation; in practice you will need to set one interval for all flows and empirically 100ms works well, unless most of your flows go to more remote places then setting interval to the real RTT would be better. But an interval of 540ms seems quite extreme (unless you often use connections to hosts with only satellite links). Have you tried something smaller?
I did smaller something.
I thought that dropping rate is getting increased.

I wrote script according to this mailinglist and sqm-script.
Thanks to Sebastian and all

Maybe, This works without problem.
 From now on , I need strict thinking.

>>> 	Under full saturation in theory you would expect the average latency to equal the sum of upstream target and downstream target (which in your case would be 20 + ???) in reality I often see something like 1.5 to 2 times the expected value (but I have never inquired any deeper, so that might be a measuring artifact)...

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.
