Right. fq_codel uses the same trick than other qdisc, like SFQ

By _default_ it uses a 5-tuple hash. Thats convenient but not a
requirement.

You can classify packets using a filter and for example hash only on the
part you need. For example destination IP, or source IP, depending if
you use fq_codel on egress or ingress sides.

tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: fq_codel flows 8192
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1: handle 1 \
	flow hash keys dst divisor 8192

Simple as that.
