[clue-tech] WAP performance.

[Shawn Perry]

Yes, they compete, sort of.

When you have a large upstream transfer going, the ACK packets of the
downstream transfer get put in the queue too.  TCP waits for the ACK
packets before it continues to transfer.

Google "wondershaper" to learn more and for a way to fix it.  The HTB
version works better.
