Maybe he's on a DOCSIS 3.1 headend that's also using pie? Pie doesn't need to know the outbound rate, correct? as it's meant to be driven by the RTS/CTS type behavior that the upstream traffic on cable has (the correct terms for cable aren't coming to mind at the moment).
Correct, PIE acts on the queue just like CODEL. From what I can tell, PIE is a queue discipline that can be implemented on hardware that supports WRED (which most can) with the help of extra software and some CPU cycles to tune it over time. That's why HW manufacturers like PIE.
