Yes, and I've run this prior to running /usr/lib/sqm/run.sh to clear the old rules:

IFACE=pppoe-ge00 /usr/lib/sqm/stop.sh
IFACE=ge00 /usr/lib/sqm/stop.sh
vi /etc/config/sqm (change the interface line)
/usr/lib/sqm/run.sh
... run netperf-wrapper again

Attached, the graphs are closer now, but so are the flows, is classification even working there?
Maybe I just have too much bandwidth there and not creating a bottleneck properly.

I tried using 1/10 of bandwidth, see _10th.png. The difference is much sharper, and pppoe-ge00_10th.png seems to be working, while ge00_!oth not.

TBH I don't know how PPPoE is actually implemented, who does the encapsulation? The kernel or the user-space daemon?
Would a packet capture on ge00/pppoe-ge00 help while running something that sets QoS bits (I'm guessing SSH would be good for that)?

Thanks,
