Setting th_min and th_max to the same value may be useful for DCTCP
deployments.  The original DCTCP paper describes it as a simplest way
of achieving simple ECN threshold marking.  Indeed, there doesn't seem
to be any simpler qdisc in Linux which would allow such a setup today.

Or should I go ahead and add a DCTCP qdisc? :)
