For example, "In an experiment to test RTT-fairness, Copa, Cubic, Cubic over CoDel and Newreno obtained Jain fairness indices of 0.76, 0.12, 0.57 and 0.37 respectively (higher the better).” Figure 6 in the paper illustrates.

It is not clear from the paper it was actually sfqcodel under test at
any point. The codel results look like codel results.

My largely empirical analysis is that delay based tcp's work great
against fq_codel derived aqms, even competing against cubic or bbr. In
the case of copa
I would expect the loss based portion of the algo to rarely engage,
and the relative smoothness-es of copa for rate changes to work quite
well against the smoother rate sharing flow-queuing generally
achieves.

Not clear if you were using tcp pacing, either.

Got patches? Test scripts?

Well, I would certainly love it if one day y'all tore apart

and https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.07617

against whatever you are dreaming up. :)
