Dave Täht has put together a summary of the
state of fair queuing and the fight against bufferbloat in general.

On a very positive note, while it might seem the negatives are
overwhelming in the list above, I’m confident that there are
billions of devices for which fq_codel is doing a good job. I’m
confident there is a rising tide of clued system administrators and
users applying smart queue management in the right places at the
right times. There’s more than enough products on the market
already that have the right stuff in them to make better networks a
matter of merely recognising the problem and applying the fix.
