I started looking at traffic shaping with OPNsense. With the bufferbloat recipe, I fail to see the utility of queues when FQ Codel is the pipe scheduler. Would pointing the rules directly at the relevant pipes achieve similar or do you lose something?
When traffic prioritisation is the goal, does it make sense to set pipe scheduler to WFQ or QFQ, then enable codel on the queues? Does this get best of both worlds (fair queuing within weighted queues) or something unexpected?
Thanks for any insights.
Have a look at https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=46990.0 (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=46990.0)
It's a long thread, but takes a deep insight of traffic shaping, so it may be helpful.
