20 megabit/s is 2.5 megabyte/s, so that 256k FIFO is only 100ms worth of 
buffering. I guess you see packet drop in steady state here, ie buffer is 
full?

I'd be interested in seeing same experiment start with 10MB FIFO, and 
having CUBIC flow start first and give it proper head start.

My intuition and understanding of what's going to happen might very well 
be completely off, but I think it'd be interesting to know.

I'll take a look at your flent data, thanks for posting them!
