That was just the worst case scenario, not really meant to emulate user traffic.  And I'm not suggesting that the schedulers should be optimized for that. But we can agree that 20+ seconds of delay is a bit much no matter how it is measured? :)

I also use nuttcp to model other kinds of traffic, such as VIOP, Voice over WiFi, dumb udp vod that Telenor uses.  Then I subject the router to various kinds of line saturation and stress.  Cloud upload, torrent, virus emulation (zmap not really designed for that, but man, if you want to inflict pain on a router... zmap is your daddy).  And we try to make sure that long living tcp/vpn sessions are not torn down due to need for more sessions in nat for yet another torrent session.  Different QoS/schedulers behave different and we try and use the best possible solution for a given HW/access tech.  What works very well for balancing cloud upload and interactive traffic like ssh or http may fail miserably on torrent.  And the other way around.  On our legacy stuff we can't implement fq_codel, cake or sfq even. 

And as you know I also incorporate flent.
