thanks a lot for your work! flow-queuing for the mainstream is a godsend in the information age.

  Thank you for leveraging it. but: Eric Dumazet came up with the flow queuing fast/slow queue concept in a single saturday afternoon in his hammock (after admittedly 9 months of hard work on every other fq and aqm algorithm), slammed it into the kernel the next day, and has been building ever more amazing things ever since. I try to make sure people understand that I am more the acolyte of kathie, van, and Eric, than inventor here. I was proud of this thing we´d developed called SFQred, and writing a paper on it... but then kathie and van came out with codel a month later... obsoleting that part... Eric and I implemented it over a week, saw that it was far better than RED... I went to sleep for a week, only to wake up to fq_codel, which solved everything. We have been just re-implementing it and improving the edge cases since. I am pretty happy with cake, now. The world evolves however, and there are new demands on queuing.
