I've been scratching my head about RED's behavior for a while.

Pre-BQL I was unable to even see red behave, so we're still ahead
on this game.

I will apply this patch to the ongoing work. Thank you.

One of my other problems is when I try to size red (or choke) appropriately
(or so I think) for GigE bandwidths and queue depths, it would fail
to calculate the ewma value.
