Adds an optional Random Early Detection on each SFQ flow queue.
netperf -t TCP_RR is useful
-t TCP_MAERTS will be interesting.
simultaneous ping?
I dont know what you expect from pings, since they are already coming in
new flows (unless a ping flood is in effect), so RED doesnt fire for
these packets.

Same for TCP_RR : Since at most one packet is in flight per flow, RED
cannot fire.

So there is no differences for them.

Your environment is rather different than mine, and I like having
baseline numbers around... but I can live without as I was hovering
over the build button in my bql tree, and I'm building now.

Up until the world changed, a few days ago, those two did matter when
comparing results against QFQ and
various combinations of it's sub-qdiscs. I'm at the point now where I
have to do cdf plots against large data sets in order to see
*anything*, and I'm looking forward to seeing how well this does
against wireless, which is really noisy...

TCP_MAERTS tests activity in the other direction and (again, your
environment is different) does interesting things against byte
oriented red, or rather, 'did' when last I checked several eons
(months) ago, which was prior to the avqueue fixes.

Another excellent test is the 'apache benchmark', ab, while under a
saturating load from something else.

At some point I'd like to try iobench against nfs and samba, even
iscsi against multiple initiators...
