Yeah, offloading of some sort is another option, but I consider that outside of the "CAKE stays relevant" territory, since that will most likely involve an entirely programmable packet scheduler. There was some discussion of adding such a qdisc to Linux at LPC[0]. The Eiffel[1] algorithm seems promising. -Toke [0] https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/7/contributions/679/ [1] https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi19/presentation/saeed _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
