CeroWrt 3.10.28-14 is doing a good job of keeping latency low. But... it has 
two other effects:

- I don't get the full "7 mbps down, 768 kbps up" as touted by my DSL provider 
(Fairpoint). In fact, CeroWrt struggles to get above 6.0/0.6 mbps.

- When I adjust the SQM parameters to get close to those numbers, I get 
increasing levels of packet loss (5-8%) during a concurrent ping test.

So my question to the group is whether this behavior makes sense: that we can 
have low latency while losing ~10% of the link capacity, or that getting close 
to the link capacity should induce large packet loss...

Experimental setup:

I'm using a Comtrend 583-U DSL modem, that has a sync rate of 7616 kbps down, 
864 kbps up. Theoretically, I should be able to tell SQM to use numbers a bit 
lower than those values, with an ATM plus header overhead with default 
settings. 

I have posted the results of my netperf-wrapper trials at 
http://richb-hanover.com - There are a number of RRUL charts, taken with 
different link rates configured, and with different link layers.

I welcome people's thoughts for other tests/adjustments/etc.

PS I did try the 3.10.28-16, but ran into troubles with wifi and ethernet 
connectivity. I must have screwed up my local configuration - I was doing it 
quickly - so I rolled back to 3.10.28.14.
