One thing the original sqm-scripts did (with fq_codel) was explicitly deprioritize ping with a filter.
I had written in my original "wondershaper must die" rant how stupid it was to prioritize ping upwards to "impress your friends" - as that was the case in many, many a wshaper implementation I'd seen. I only just now noticed that rant does not have the images inline. "Oh, man, ping's prioritized:" https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/attachments/131229050304_wshaper-800-220.svg As for explicit depriorization, well, I took a lot of flack from some ietfers about lowering it below best effort, and I felt the additional classification needed was excessive for cake, directly. Some OSes already do mark it with a background class. I still think it's a good idea as it makes ping floods against (for example) your entire 10. network (which happened to me under worm attack once) - vanish. _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
