dummynet does not implement priority queues, but uses a variant of weighted
fair queueing - WFQ2+ - "fair" because queues with lower weights are
guaranteed to have their traffic move.

You misread the docs on the weight - each queue may have a weight from
1-100.

One sublety is that your pipe capacity must be slightly less than the
available bandwidth, since queue weights only take effect when there is
contention.
