I would imagine that most ISPs use AQM on their core links, but this AQM 
is more WRED kind of AQM, where you have a few queues and place the 
traffic into each queue based on DSCP/EXP values. This is mostly used to 
assure certain amount of bandwidth/loss profile to certain services, such 
as the providers own VoIP or IPTV service.

Are you defining AQM as anything that is not FIFO?
