Alas, as I understand it (and also based on my empirical tests),
this will give downstream traffic priority but will still let the
same amount of upstream traffic through per second if there is no
downstream traffic... because the capacity of the pipe is still the
same. What I want to do is have the pipe, not the queue, weight the
upstream traffic twice as heavily.
