One think I wondered about afterwards was whether or not it would be
feasible (as in, easy to add, or maybe even supported in current
versions) to tie in an AQM to an AFD-type virtual fairness queueing
system? You could keep the AQM state variables along with the per-flow
state and react appropriately. Any reason why this wouldn't work?
