In other words netem jitter and a qdisc !tfifo will not work. Correct? The
rate extension also peak the last packet to get the reference time (assuming a
strict ordering):

Yep, current situation is borked. It assumes we _use_ tfifo, for delay
jitters but also for rate extension.

Mhh, should we signal this to the user via 'tc -s qdisc show'? Or should we
assume that a user who set netem rate|jitter AND a qdisc !tfifo knows what he
does - because we assume he is a experienced user? At least somewhere in the
manpage a comment should point to this characteristic.
