[Bloat] The NetEm qdisc does not work in conjunction with other qdiscs

[Joerg Deutschmann]

Dear all,

bringing up again the question from a previous message to this list...

https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/Best_practices_for_benchmarking_Codel_and_FQ_Codel/#the-netem-qdisc-does-not-work-in-conjunction-with-other-qdiscs
says to not use NetEm together with other qdiscs.

Is this still true?

How could one emulate bottlenecks together with fq_codel?

Best regards
Joerg

Since the document is from 2014 and also states that "netem has been improving", my question was wether the current netem has improved sufficiently to be used to get realistic results.
