that's not really a hypothesis, but rather an observation. by the time a 
packet has traversed a metropolitan area, the scale of its transit time will 
be greater than the difference in scales between the dual queues of dualq.

to those who were confused when i referred to L4S as a datacenter protocol, 
this is why: getting into the microsecond vs. millisecond queue in an edge 
switch or router at the far-end campus or home or LAN won't change the lived 
experience of your application or user in any way since the packet is already 
a half dozen or more milliseconds from where it was born.
