Right. But the default pfifo_fast/prio mapping maps the upper 8 values
to queue 1, which seems to make this effort kind of useless. I don't
know if the default-mapping of the lower 8 values is useable in this
context, I need to inform myself more on this subject (thanks for the
IEEE vs. IETF pointers).
