You are doing a great job of asking good questions.

I would hope we could get some more people lined up to answer them,
armed with sims and real hardware. Volunteers for each problem would
be helpful.

Me, I'd like very much to get some data back on the variable bandwidth
wireless scenario! Except that cerowrt's too broken at the moment to
use and I'm trying to fix that.

The latest netem does ECN, btw. And ns3 has a decent minstrel model.
