+  QFQ+ divides classes into aggregates of at most MAX_AGG_CLASSES
+  classes. Each aggregate is timestamped with a virtual start time S
+  and a virtual finish time F, and scheduled according to its
+  timestamps. S and F are computed as a function of a system virtual
+  time function V. The classes within each aggregate are instead
+  scheduled with DRR.
+
+  To speed up operations, QFQ+ divides also aggregates into a limited
+  number of groups. Which group a class belongs to depends on the
+  ratio between the maximum packet length for the class and the weight
+  of the class. Groups have their own S and F. In the end, QFQ+
+  schedules groups, then aggregates within groups, then classes within

  * When the weight of a class is increased or the lmax of the class is
- * decreased, a new class with smaller slot size may happen to be
- * activated. The activation of this class should be properly delayed
- * to when the service of the class has finished in the ideal system
- * tracked by QFQ. If the activation of the class is not delayed to

- * some of these unlucky classes.

- * Instead of delaying the activation of the new class, which is quite

- * the bucket list either gets immediately corrupted or may get
- * corrupted on a possible next packet arrival that causes the start
