DOCSIS 3.1 devices mandate pie, which helps a lot, but it's not as good as fq_codel, nor do they do shaping from the isp, which is kind of needed for all the cable links in the USA I've tried. Get one if you can, though, they are better across the board in many other ways. pfsense has fq_codel. Anything (1000s of routers) from lede/openwrt has the most advanced bufferbloat-fighting stuff in it, followed by dd-wrt, tomato, etc. If you need high bandwidths the multi-core arms are the best. fq_codel is pre-configured on all links (ethernet/usb/fiber/wifi/whatever) but if you need shaping to the ISP provided rate you need to configure it. All the research that went into fixing bufferbloat queuing problems everywhere landed in openwrt and lede first. Most of the research that improved tcp everywhere came out of google. Most gaming routers now sold commercially have some variant of fq_codel in them in their trade name ISP "qos" system. Also fq_codel derived anti-bufferbloat work has landed in many commercial wifi routers on the wifi side (eero, google wifi, some ubnt products, meraki, many others). The paper behind all that was: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.00064.pdf - happily that work was "good enough" to enable by default, and boy, does it make a difference if wifi is your bottleneck. The current premier dsl router with cake is evenroute. I think there are several new models from several manufacturers that are going to get it right, soon. Not tracking FIOS (gpon fiber) closely at the moment. Yes, fiber networks have bufferbloat, but it's harder to hit, and generally smaller than on dsl and cable technologies. I configured cake on sonic fiber recently and got 60ms back. (going from 60ms latency under load to 3ms ) Regrettably shaper setup is finicky and requires a few minutes of testing with a site like dslreports or a tool like flent.org to get right. If more ISPs published their shapers' bitrate and burst rate settings, life would be easier here... but the hope has always been they'd just ship a router with this stuff on and remotely configured to be "right".
