        I see that there is a link to https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/sqm on 
this page, and that reminds me, could you add a link to 
https://github.com/moeller0/ATM_overhead_detector to that openwrt page please? 
Probably in the section titled “Link Layer Adaptation - the details…”
Here is a quick draft:

For true ATM links one often can measure the real per packet overhead 
empirically, see https://github.com/moeller0/ATM_overhead_detector for further 
information how to do that.

        And while at it the following might also need a small upgrade:
original: “SQM can also account for the overhead imposed by "Ethernet with 
overhead" (mostly VDSL) links. Cable Modem, Fiber, and direct Ethernet 
connections generally do not need any kind of link layer adaptation."

proposal: "SQM can also account for the overhead imposed by "Ethernet with 
overhead" (mostly VDSL) links. Cable Modems (docsis) are known to typically use 
28 Byte of overhead in the upstream direction but only 14 in the downstream 
direction. If your version of SQM only supports to specify one value for the 
overhead, select 28 Bytes… Fiber, and direct Ethernet connections generally do 
not need any kind of link layer adaptation.”

        Thanks to Greg we learned something about docsis and it would be a pity 
not to pass this information on to our users… (Note to self I need to allow 
independent overhead control for ingress and egress in sqm-scripts and the GUI).

Best Regards
        Sebastian
