Its all about being fair if bandwidth is shared across multiple users.

>From the point of view of "being a user", I would not like my
neighbour to do an upload at 10Mbps and enjoy network games at
additonal 5 Mbps, and me (Oh! poor me) left with only 5 Mbps for my
job in which I have to _manage_ upload and games both.

So in this case it should be fairly distributed as 10 - 10 Mbps
between me and my neighbour. If I am not using, then my neighbour can
use my 10 Mbps or vice versa.

However, if the requirement is 10Mbps upload and 5 Mbps for Gaming,
then my neighbour should have a network plan where he is allotted
15Mbps to him and that is only for him and not at all community shared
and this should be handle by fq_codel per flow and not per IP.

So, if plan is per user it should be fq_codel per flow, if it is
shared plan then it should be fq_codel per src IP.
