I don't know of any way either, though I will probably write one 
eventually for diagnostic use.

A couple other notes:

1. SFQ won't do much unless it's attached to a rate limiting qdisc such 
as HTB, with a specified rate less than that of your Internet connection.

2. SFQ doesn't currently handle more than 128 concurrent flows (TCP 
connections, etc.), and I would expect the fairness to degrade sooner 
than that. I have been working on patches to address this, among other 
things.

My own role in that is taking forever, but I am indeed still working on 
it...
