6292541 dropped from 12277962 pkt, means 51% dropped. Maybe something fishy 
here?

Can you try instead of SFQ - BFIFO? For 100ms buffer, 550Mbit/s it will be 
~6875000 bytes bfifo.

It is by the way too short, IMHO, for this bandwidth, 127 packets is not 
enough. 127 packets with 800 bytes can buffer 1 second for 812Kbit/s only, 
and for 550Mbit/s it will buffer data for ~2ms only.
