You're not likely to hit the packet limit for fq-codel, since the AQM
will make TCP flows back off before it gets that far. The exception is
an unresponsive UDP flow, of course, but that is only going to hurt
itself.

Main problem with the 10240 limit on small boxes is the memory; an
explicit memory limit was introduces in later versions to deal with
this. Guess that wasn't backported to the edgerouter, though...
