Why do you have ce_threshold set ? You really should not (even if it
does not matter for the kind of traffic you have at this moment)

If your expected link speed is around 1Gbps, or 80,000 packets per
second, then you have to understand that 1024 packets limit is about 12
ms at most.

Even if the queue is full, max sojourn time of a packet would be 12 ms.

I really do not see how 'target 80 ms' could be hit.

You basically have FQ, with no Codel effect, but with the associated
cost of Codel (having to take timestamps)
