ACK filtering?

I'm likely going to have to move to an Internet connection with asymmetric
bandwidth soon, and I want to be proactive with the firewalling to avoid
the connection choking on itself.

There's a fair amount of documentation out there for bumping the priority
on acks with pf and altq, and that seems reasonable, but is there anything
equivalent I can do with ipfw? I'd prefer ipfw if possible, but I'll switch
if I need to.

Second, in researching the topic, because it's been some time, I
encountered the notion of ACK filtering. Here's a link:

    https://lwn.net/Articles/758353/

From that link:

     The last major component of CAKE is ACK filtering. A stream of data
     flowing in one direction over a TCP connection will generate a
     corresponding stream of acknowledgment (ACK) packets heading the other
     way. The ACK traffic is much smaller than the actual data, but it can
     still reach problematic levels on asymmetric links like those found in
     many home links. Much of that data will be redundant: if an ACK packet
     for the first 10,000 bytes is immediately followed by an ACK for the
     first 20,000 bytes, the first can often be dropped with no ill effect.

     Since CAKE maintains per-flow queues of packets, it is relatively easy
     for it to tell when a newly queued ACK packet makes an earlier one
     redundant. Some care must be taken, though, to only drop ACK packets
     that contain no other data, or bad things will happen. The ACK
     filtering also will not touch packets that contain unknown headers;
     that is an attempt to avoid protocol ossification that could break
     future extensions.

I'm not seeing anything talking about ACK filtering in FreeBSD. It seems
like the best of both worlds would be higher-priority ACK packets outbound,
but with those that can be safely discarded discarded. Have I simply missed
the documentation, or does this concept not exist as such right now in
FreeBSD? (How about in OpenBSD?)

It seems like the concept has been batted about for a while:
