I wrote fq_codel with a configurable limit of packets.

Default is 10240

I want to see what limit was set on this particular qdisc.

All qdisc are going to drop hell of packets, if say limit is set to 5.

Claiming they are buggy is quite misleading.

fq_codel was designed with the hope of dropping in excess packets at
dequeue() time, not enqueue() time.

Apparently someone did not understand this part.
