I'm wondering if edge servers with 1Gb NICs are inside the "CAKE stays
relevant" territory?
My main customer/employer has a gazillion of those, currently reporting

because their OS is just a tiny bit elderly (;-)). We we're planning to
roll forward this quarter to centos 8.2, where CAKE is an option.
It strikes me that the self-tuning capacity of CAKE might be valuable
for a whole /class/ of small rack-mounted machines, but you just
mentioned the desire for better multi-processor support.
Am I reaching for the moon, or is this something within reach?
