I didn't say that. I LOVE that you and lots of people are fiddling
with various ideas around the core
codel concepts, and clearly said I think it's neat...

My larger question, poorly put, was:

what would applying ideas to codel based on measured tcp srrt,
do in the larger known universe as (for example) outlined by the data in that
paper, along with different tcps of any flavor at any rtt?

your original thought was to limit it to the local lan somehow.
