Hi, I'm seeking feedback from users of highly asymmetric internet connections and TCP experts alike with respect to my work-in-progress patch to add TCP ACK filtering (a.k.a. suppression / thinning) to cake.
A preliminary version has been merged into the cobalt branch there is an open PR for a revision with significantly reduced overhead (in terms of CPU cycles). https://github.com/dtaht/sch_cake/pull/63 https://github.com/dtaht/sch_cake/pull/64 https://github.com/dtaht/tc-adv/pull/17 There is still further research to be done on my part to extend this filtering to SACKs in an intelligent manner (mostly of benefit to flows with a large BDP). Ironically I will be migrating from a 48:1 120/2.5 link to a more balanced 5:2 100/40 link at home shortly so I won't have much of a personal stake in this feature's performance from that point, however I hope that it will be of benefit to others.
