Michael and Bob,

The depart_rate is inversed in calculation delay….
Delay = queue_length/depart_rate; 
Hence, current_qdelay = queue_.byte_length() * PIE- >avg_dq_time_/DQ_THRESHOLD;

Basically the average dq_time for dequeueing DQ_THRESHOLD is PIE->dq_time; What is the approximate time to deque the current_qlen?
Current_qlen/DQ_THRESHOLD(what portion is current queue length relative to DQ_THRESHOLD)? * avg_dq_time.

That is the rationale behind it.

Thanks,

Rong
