[Codel] interval target relation ship question

[Andrew McGregor]

My intuition suggests something like:
Target = 4ms + MTU sized packet duration
Interval = target * 20

(But only if the resulting interval is more than 100ms)

Possibly the packet duration may need a small factor (2 or 3) to get the
balance right.
