I have a capture of this as well, it's 1.5gigs. It has lots of mentions of 
ECT(0) but 0 mention of ECT(1). TOS should be 0x3 when the EC=1 ? I see no 
such packets. All the packets are 0x2.

I went back to gig and set SQM to 50 megabit/s bidirectional and looking 
at tc qdisc -s eth0 I see ecn_mark 10339 on a single queue, none of the 
others have non-zero ecn_mark.

This was my first try, I haven't fine tuned it yet, but it works (boots 
and moves packets anyway :P )

I will give it a go in the next few days.
