Yup, the number of cores is only going to go up, so for CAKE to stay
relevant it'll need to be able to take advantage of this eventually :)
True, the mid-range market is already there, and so soon will be the lower-end.
And with ISPs lighting up more and more capacity, the demand will be there to be able to shape higher and higher rates.
But I agree with Jonathan Morton that once every deice has sufficient capacity, more makes no difference.
I went for 100/15 to 300/24 and never noticed the difference.
Hell, there are days I switch to my backup 10/0.7 DSL line for a test, and forget to switch back, and will work for hours and not notice I’m not on the 300Mbps line ;-)
Cheers,
Jonathan

Thanks Toke, we currently are on an MT7621a @880, so a dual-core.
Right, so some benefit might be possible here. Does the NIC have
multiple hardware queues (`ls /sys/class/net/$IFACE/queues` should tell
you)?
And we are looking for a good quad-core platform that will support
600Mbps or more with Cake enabled, hopefully with AX radios as well.
