9.2 Stochastic Fairness Queueing 
says:
 SFQ however cannot determine interactive flows from bulk ones -- one
 usually needs to do the selection with CBQ before, and then direct the
 bulk traffic into SFQ.  

I don't understand this.  You want to give preference to the non-bulk
traffic, right?  And this is what you get if you just put it all into
the same SFQ, right?  All the small flows get fast service and the 
large flows fairly share what's left.  That seems like what you want.
So it's true that SFQ does not distinguish bulk from interactive flows
but there's no need to.
