It seems that the ‘lan’ keyword (and probably other lower rtt settings in 
general) may adversely impact host fairness in some cases. Is this to be 
expected? I set up a fairness test with rrul_be_nflows where one client has 2/2 
TCP flows and the other has 8/8 TCP flows, then ran five tests:

As can be seen, fairness works well with the default rtt, but with the lan 
keyword, it varies from partially fair when rate limiting is used to as if 
there’s no fairness at all when unlimited (bql) is used. So either we could 
find some problem with my test, or this may at least need to be documented 
somewhere...
