[Bloat] Dumb question time 1: using upload and download speeds from dslreports

[Bloat] Dumb question time 1: using upload and download speeds from dslreports

[Dave Collier-Brown]

When setting my laptop to explicitly use CAKE for an article- and
recipe-writing effort, I blithely took the download speed and stuffed it
into

     tc qdisc replace dev enp0s25 root cake docsis ack-filter bandwidth
179mbit

When Iván Baldo kindly suggested I mention ingress, it suddenly struck
me: I was using the downstream/ingress value for my upstream setting!

Should I not be using my upload speed, some 13mbit, not 179 ???

For ingress traffic (usually the download direction), you need to redirect the ingress traffic to an IFB device and attach an ingress-configured Cake instance there.  You would use "ingress" instead of "ack-filter" and your download bandwidth.

For egress traffic you should indeed use the upload speed.
