[Bloat] Looking for a citation...

One of the things I like about sitting on top of the libreqos deployment is
being able to see the side effects of different ISP bandwidth tiers, and we
can now correlate rtt, drops and tcp retransmits somewhat. At 25/10 cake
manages most of the bandwidth (beautifully). At 100/20 we see very little
ISP drops but do see rtt skyrocket sometimes which is a sure sign to the
ISP to suggest a wifi upgrade of some sort to the customer.
