Subject: SFQ on HFSC leaf does not seem to work

Hello, all.  I have an experimental HFSC setup with three leaf classes
each with SFQ as the final qdisc.  One queue is for ssh on port 822, one
is for tcp traffic on port 443, the third is the default.

If I flood the 443 queue with netcat, my ssh sessions are responsive and
my continuous ping shows a round trip time of around 50ms in keeping
with my netem settings.

However, if I flood the default queue with netcat on port 80, ssh is
still responsive but my ping round trip times shoot up over 3000ms.

I thought it might be the bufferbloat phenomenon so I reduced the
txqueuelen on both sides of the ping to 0.  Both sides use old 10BaseT
NICs and have no ring buffer.  I also set the SFQ limit on the default
queue to 2 just in case.  Still no difference.

The default queue is dequeuing at roughly 400 kbits which matches my
HFSC configuration.  A full sized packet should take 30 ms to pass at
that rate ((1514 * 8)/400,000) so, if I am round robining the queues, I
would expect latency on a default sized ping to be only 30 ms plus the
netem delay.

Where might this 3000 ms delay be coming from?

Here is the rule set:
