Why would you want to have a pool of 1024 oppose to the default of 50 slots for your queue? You will increase latency when you have congestion. It's not because you can have a 1024 limits that it make sense to use it by default. The default is 50 and that's plenty good for most usage. As Peter Hansteen would write, Quote "Cranking up queue sizes here means we’re a little less likely to drop packets when the traffic approaches the set limits, but it also means that when the traffic shaping kicks in, we’ll see increased latency for connections that end up in these larger than default pools." It's a trade off, just know the impact of your choice. As for the CoDel I will let someone that actually use it explain it better then I could. Hope this help some. Daniel
