Browse Source 
Aside from some lingual cleanup, point out which interfaces are not or
partly covered by this setting.

--------------
The default queuing discipline to use for network devices. This allows
overriding the default queue discipline of pfifo_fast with an
alternative. Since the default queuing discipline is created with the
no additional parameters so is best suited to queuing disciplines that
work well without configuration like stochastic fair queue (sfq),
CoDel (codel) or fair queue CoDel (fq_codel). Don't use queuing disciplines
like Hierarchical Token Bucket or Deficit Round Robin which require setting
up classes and bandwidths.

interfaces still use mq as root qdisc, which in turn uses this default for its
leaves. Virtual devices (like e.g. lo or veth) ignore this setting and instead
default to noqueue.
