Just an aside - queue weights only come into play when queues are
full.  If you don't specify the queue size in terms of entries as
opposed to bytes, you may not get the behavior you expect with
small packets.

What's your nominal connect rate in each direction?  Your pipe should
be that size or smaller, of course.

Another aside - in practice, bulk traffic is at MTU size, and interactive
packets or naked TCP ACKs are small.   iplen alone is sufficient for the
packets you want to assign a lower weight.
