Public bug reported:

At present the Ubuntu 20.04 linux-image-virtual kernel package don't
include the tcp_bbr, sch_cake and sch_fq_codel kernel modules. The
latter has been default on desktop for a number of release cycles; cake
improves on this.

These queueing disciplines are instrumental to reducing queueing latency
[bufferbloat.net]; the TCP congestion control algo elevates bandwidth on
lossy paths (think clients on radio networks).

Enabling these kernel modules will ensure Ubuntu has an optimally
competitive network stack in cloud/VM systems.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
