Hi Chaps,

Further to Dave's recent request for 'tc -s qdisc' stats looking at drops vs ecn marks, please could someone take a look at these and explain to this idiot quite what is going on?  This is a particularly slow & ratty ADSL line providing my parents internet 'service'.  Before I got hold of it with OpenWrt CC trunk + cake jammed in it, 6 seconds of bufferbloat was not uncommon.  I'm using the default sqm scripts that arrive with the 'ceropackages' repo (used as a source of patched iproute2, cake, etc)  In essence 2 questions: 1) Why no ECN marks, only drops?  2) What falls into diffserv class 0 (alias, why has nothing used it?)

Your time, patience etc is greatly appreciated.

Kevin
