Certainly our​ vendors already support this and for several years. I am trying to find ways to improve things for end users that buy and manage their own CPE router.

I mean no disrespect, but surely large ISPs should be pushing their
CPE vendors for this functionality? I don't know what the general
community (represented on this list) might be able to do to help here

or are you hinting that someone should start a company / release a
product with good SQM support? :)

I for one (as a home user) would be glad to buy some hardware that
advertised support for cake (and IPv6) -- right now I just run a linux
box plugged into my PON ONT (spoofing the MAC address of the ISP's
CPE, so I can fully bypass it). but getting IPv6 working properly was
a huge pain and I'm afeared to upgrade the linux version lest I break
it
