For wireless routers and cable home gateways especially, this research

Would it be a good thing to start describing these queues not so much in
terms of packets but in terms of delay (or bandwidth X delay)?


The unit of bandwidth is something like Mbps, that of delay can be second, so bandwidth X delay --> Mb, which is the unit of packet size. So both packets and delay should have the same effect for sizing buffers.

Constants tend to live longer than they should, no matter how noble in
birth.
