Make use of the PIE (Proportional Integral controller Enhanced) queue management
algorithm.
PIE drops or marks packets depending on a calculated drop probability during
en-queue process, with the aim of achieving high throughput while keeping queue
delay low.
At regular time intervals of
.Cm tupdate
.Ar time
(15ms by default) a background process (re)calculates the probability based on queue delay
deviations from
.Cm target
.Ar time
(15ms by default) and queue delay trends.
PIE approximates current queue
delay by using a departure rate estimation method, or (optionally) by using a
packet timestamp method similar to CoDel.
.Ar time
is interpreted as milliseconds by default but seconds (s), milliseconds (ms) or
microseconds (us) can be specified instead.
The other PIE parameters and options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Cm alpha Ar n
.Ar n

default and 10s is the maximum value.
.It Cm max_ecnth Ar n
Even when ECN is enabled, PIE drops packets instead of marking them when drop
probability becomes higher than ECN probability threshold
.Cm max_ecnth Ar n

.It Cm capdrop | nocapdrop
enable or disable cap drop adjustment.
Cap drop adjustment is enabled by default.
.It Cm drand | nodrand
enable or disable drop probability de-randomisation.
De-randomisation eliminates
the problem of dropping packets too close or too far.
De-randomisation is enabled by default.

enable turning PIE on and off depending on queue load.
If this option is enabled,
PIE turnes on when over 1/3 of queue becomes full.
