The test was run on a complete implementation of Cake, set up in the normal 
way.  I think we kept the configuration simple for this test, so everything at 
defaults except for choosing the shaped bandwidth in each direction.

The ack-filter relies on having fairly good flow isolation, so that consecutive 
packets in the appropriate queue belong to the same ack stream.  So at minimum 
it is appropriate to have the set-associative flow hash enabled.

The host-fairness and Diffserv features were probably enabled, but did not have 
relevant effects in this case, since only one pair of hosts and the Best Effort 
DSCP were used in the traffic.
