My cable is very asymmetric 150/5 nominal, 170/6 best case. I just now experimented with creating only the outgoing queue on my external interface. That's the slow direction. I went from a D in bufferbloat to an A, with just that one line addition. Can you live with reducing just your upload speed? I sure can, I rarely upload much. But even if I were doing large amounts of cloud backup, it might not matter. If I go from 5000K to 4500K, is that really such a loss? Am I going to cry over 10%? And if there is congestion such that my actual upload speed falls below 4500K, it's possible, maybe even likely, that I'm no worse off than before I created my upload queue. Unfortunately the DSL Reports speedtest only tests one direction at a time. So maybe my fix doesn't work well if there is significant bidirectional simultaneous traffic? Fortunately I'm running OpenBSD on my firewall, so it was very easy to experiment with this.
