It's not an easily discussed "thing". As one example of many, if there is
anybody out there in https://common.net/ 's service range that would
like to do some benchmarking...

FQ has always been part of meraki's products and ubnt's airmax. Meraki
does it a bit weirdly, doing sfq at a low level and codel via click.

It is certainly a sadness that more ISPs are not shipping gear that
does this at this point.
There are several I know of in addition to common and free.fr but
can't talk about it.

The biggest penetration is on QCA wifi'd devices where no
configuration is required.

Hmm? Nearly everything derived from openwrt commercially has it. More
generally, debian linux derived
Google wifi, chromebooks, eero have publically disclosed their usage.

I have not purchased any newer routers in years, but I recently
configged a new synology
router for a friend, and it had "something" that did the right things,
packet captures were interleaved...

This seems true.

see above?
