+===== FQ - Fair Queue traffic policing =====
+FQ (sometimes referred to as sch_fq because of the name of its kernel module name) is a packet scheduler which was implemented by Eric Dumazet like FQ_Codel and can be configured as queueing discipline (qdisc). FQ can be used as a drop in replacement for pfifo_fast.
+The CoDel wiki says this:
+>For servers with tcp-heavy workloads, particularly at 10GigE speeds, for queue management, we recomend sch_fq instead of fq_codel as of linux 3.12.
+-- [[https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/|CoDel Overview]]
+  * fq_codel - best for routers, hypervisors and best general purpose qdisc
+  * fq - best for fat servers with TCP only workload at 10Gbps
+Activate on the current system and replace qdisc on eth0 (not recommended).
+<code>
+sysctl -w net.core.default_qdisc=fq
+tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root fq
+</code>
+Persistent configuration. Reboot required to activate (recommended).
+<code>
+echo "net.core.default_qdisc = fq"  > /etc/sysctl.d/90-fq.conf
+</code>

+===== Ephemeral Ports =====
+<code>
+sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range="1024 65000"
+</code>
+Permanently set this configuration.
+<code>
+echo "net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000" > /etc/sysctl.d/90-ephemeral_ports.conf
+</code>
