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)?

The unit of bandwidth is something like Mbps, that of delay can be
second, so bandwidth X delay --> Mb, which is the unit of packet
size. So both packets and delay should have the same effect for
sizing buffers.

Bandwidth varies greatly with time. On cellphone, you can go from
5KB/sec GPRS to 300KB/sec HSDPA and back...
