Wonderful, thank you. One new thing in cobalt is it responds much
earlier to stuff in slow start, and thus that first spike is much
smaller than it is with codel or pie. Network researchers spend way too
much time looking at stuff in congestion avoidance mode, where what we
see in the real world is most flows never get out of slow start.

As an example, slashdot.org, last I checked, started 78 flows over 2.2
seconds for a page load.

I'm still puzzled as to why queue utilization spikes and drops so
much on all three qdiscs in your simulation. In general we use a much
larger number of packets in our packet limit (1000 or more) and I am
thinking tail drop is controlling your queue more than any of the qdiscs
are at 10mbit with a 50ms delay. I haven't had enough coffee yet this
morning to do the bdp here, but that's another easy param to tweak.

Ns3, btw, also has fq_codel. I happen to be fond of what fq can do. if
you feel like another run, with the packet limit increased and that
added too? 

Care to try 100mbit? 20ms RTT? 80ms? :)

Can you put your test code up somewhere?
