The above looks remarkably similar to our proof-of-concept for an SCE
middlebox. Essentially:
At dequeue:
Do all the normal Codel stuff
If packet (still) carries ECT(0):
If sojourn_time > SCE_threshold:
Set SCE
Forward packet
And yes, a ramp function between 0 and codel_target would work better. The
above gives us something to test against with minimum hassle.
