        Well a vectoring DSLAM is not too wimpy and needs to do plenty of 
processing per line, so fq_codel on there should be more finically sane than on 
a device with more concurrent users, I would guess...

        But there we face the same problem, the wimpy CPEs that ISPs like to 
distribute do not have enough pomp for shaping a reasonably fast lane, the 
saving grace might be that end customers can upgrade on their own cost. And I 
notice a number of specialized home routers appearing on the market targeting 
people wiling to spend $$ for better behavior under load.

        Not in the lab, no; I have no lab, but I used RRUL iteratively to 
figure out empirically what shaping percentage I need on my line to keep 
latency under load in bounds I consider reasonable. In my case DTAG vdsl50 this 
turned out to be 90% of downlink sync and 95% of uplink sync (but I since 
learned that DTAG has a BRAS policer that has a lower rate than the VDSL-line, 
so I guess I was closer to 95% and 99% percent of the BRAS policer, but heaven 
knows which encapsulation the BRAS accounts for…)
        So I would guess the collection of cerowrt users should be able to 
cough up a number of empirical shaping percentages for different link speeds 
and technologies.

Here is my data, the empirically derived shaping values puzzled me until I 
learned about the BRAS policer. I had expected that the uplink shaper could run 
almost at 100%, which turned out to be correct if referenced to the BRAS 
policer and not the vdlx sync. Anyway here is my data, maybe others want to add 
their’s:
