This qdisc aims to eliminate bufferbloat and as a side effect improves
latency during heavy network load. The most notable effect will be a
slightly more responsive ssh session during large downloads.
Systemd will autoselect fq_codel when it's available:
m8s:~ # ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 4096 qdisc noqueue

On the S905X 100Mbit link it shows no negative effects:
m8s:~ # curl http://beast.local/koen/largefile.mkv --http1.1 > /dev/null
