Ok, so can we please drop the "FQ" part of the conversation for the next 
months, and argue on few-queue systems and how to come up with things that 
are friendly to implement in hardware?

Just to state again what I have said several times:

Devices such as high speed residential gateways, BNGs, CMTSs etc, they 
will not get FQ anytime in the next 5-10 years (or someone will have to 
prove me wrong).

So please stop arguing about the wonderfulness of FQ. Yes, fine, it's 
great, but it's also not applicable to lots of places where we need to 
de-bloat.
