Cool. Another idea for a test is a real torrent or 5 of a really big well distributed file on one etherport, while a set of hosts do normal-home like things on the other, with cake unlimited vs fq-codel, and bandwidth limited for both. We don't have good numbers for cake at line rate in a scenario where we can dump 2Gbit into 1 in the real world. -- Dave Täht CEO, TekLibre, LLC http://www.teklibre.com Tel: 1-669-226-2619 _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
