I don't necessarily think knobs need to be exposed. Perhaps tuning the
burst parameter as a function of the
induced latency would be about right. At 10mbits, a single 1500 byte
packet takes 1.3ms to egress. So if we
were to aim for .5-2ms worth of burst across the operational range of
the shaper, that might work. In the
case of cable, a grant request takes 2-6ms, anyway.

So at 80mbit, a burst size of 8-16k seems possibly optimal. It could
be higher (other overheads in the kernel).

Now that we have a knob to jiggle, I'll go jiggle it when I have some time...

I note that I'm under the impression cburst can be twiddled with also
to make "powerboost"'s behavior better,
but I've not seen it work.
