Limit of 1024 packets and 1024 flows is not wise I think.

(If all buckets are in use, each bucket has a virtual queue of 1 packet,
which is almost the same than having no queue at all)

I suggest to have at least 8 packets per bucket, to let Codel have a
chance to trigger.

So you could either reduce number of buckets to 128 (if memory is
tight), or increase limit to 8192.
