thx for addressing nearly all my comments on v0.1!

Rasool: Can you suggest to this guy that he try a "quantum 300" for his
600kbit uplink? I totally agree with his use of a smaller IW, also.

https://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-net%40freebsd.org/msg51463.html

As for his headaches with pppoe and other sorts of odd (e.g. DSL/ATM)
framing, it's a real headache with soft shaping. HTB has infrastructure
(in linux) to handle it properly, as does cake, but it's a PITA.

Can this code be configured to run at physical line rates (10Mbit, 100,
1GigE), without a shaper? What is the effect? (BQL was needed for linux
here)
