Thank you! I had no idea that what I had been calling peeling already
existed. Perhaps in the simplest.qos model in the sqm-scripts (only
one sub qdisc) we should try tbf instead of htb?

Turning off GRO universally is also expensive (in terms of costs to
other devices that are not rate limited, and in terms of actually
getting it right in the first place)

the mvneta dropped from 720Mbit each way to 320 with offloads off. We
have had similar trouble with the ubnt edgerouters (8 ports worth of
offloads).

We were mostly struggling with stuff
at very low rates < 60Mbit, now we are struggling with 100-300Mbit inbound....
