CentOS - Dec 2017 - Traffic shaping on CentOS

I'm deploying a CentOS 7 box as a gateway and I'm trying to figure out
how
to set up traffic shaping. Historically I've used the Wondershaper script 
but apparently it's not deprecated in favor of superior queue management. I 
haven't yet found a packaged solution and I'm wondering what others do
to
configure this kind of thing.

Apparently the new modules are available in many appliance router products 
(eg. OpenWrt and Streamboost). Perhaps someone here knows of an RPM that 
wraps this up for RH-based distros?

Here's an article arguing why Wondershaper was great in its day but is now 
bad for modern traffic flows.

I came across this on the Fedora devel list. I added 
/etc/sysctl.d/51-bufferbloat.conf containing the suggested line and it 
installs the new codel qdisc as desired. There's probably more knobs that 
might be useful to tweak but this makes a good start. More reading on the 
bufferbloat site suggests that the later "cake" module will be even
better,
but it requires a newer kernel than CentOS currently ships with.

# 51-bufferbloat.conf
# Address bufferbloat
net.core.default_qdisc = fq_codel

I don't know your full requirements, but in the past for simple QoS gw I
used FireQOS
It's part of https://firehol.org/ , but can be used without firehol so
in parallel of your own iptables rules

Here is the doc : https://firehol.org/tutorial/fireqos-new-user/
