Next challenge: FQ into silicon... One of the reasons of what Jim describes under the "Here lies madness" section is related to silicon built-in functionalities and the ability to update software in edge-routers.
Many chipcos build their board with several CPU offloading mechanisms, e.g. to support 1Gbps in the home. My home router uses a fourth-generation BCM3384 euro-DOCSIS 3.0 System-on-a-Chip (SoC) capable of 1Gbps downstream speeds by bonding up to 24x8 DOCSIS channels. One at 600MHz for the modem and one for the OS at 1GHz. I get 1Gbps downstream reliably and excessive latency too, ...reliably. It's a Linux box in the end but no way to enable FQ_codel based on the current architecture as TCP pipelines are offloaded to silicon. the are all sort of acceleration in the SoC, so I don't see it impossible to get FQ there.
