Oh my, ok, so it is possible. It can take a while to apply many qdiscs and
filters on lower end devices, so I picture some delay while modifying the list
or restarting the routers, but I’m just exploring options now, so it is one.

I see, I found mention of it in Chapter 6 of a draft RFC that it looks like you
wrote, actually
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-aqm-fq-codel-06#section-6
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-aqm-fq-codel-06>). :) To try it out, am
I heading the right direction by looking at tc filter’s skbedit action, or is
that just for MQ devices?
(http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc-skbedit.8.html
<http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc-skbedit.8.html>)
I also saw this mention of “We are not aware of any deployments utilising the
custom classification feature"
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-aqm-fq-codel-02#section-5.1.1
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-aqm-fq-codel-02#section-5.1.1>, so not
sure how often this has been tried. :)
Cake is not a requirement yet. I like it for several of its attributes (good
performance with high numbers of flows, and also when “over-limiting”, which
I’ll explain more in my next round of point-to-point WiFi results).
