For wireless routers and cable home gateways especially, this research
shows that the total un-managed buffers in your system should be less
than 32.

Would it be a good thing to start describing these queues not so much in
terms of packets but in terms of delay (or bandwidth X delay)?

Constants tend to live longer than they should, no matter how noble in
birth.

Yes, it probably would -- that would be more meaningful between
different technologies and/or for technologies that might have variable
latencies due to shared media or whatnot.

Now, the question becomes what patches to propose to make that
happen... :-)
