I saw a blog posting that was enthusing about codel/fq_codel, and I was moved to
respond that the state of the art was now cake.

where?

This article (https://www.pcmech.com/article/bufferbloat-fix-slow-network/) is a pretty sub-standard explanation of bufferbloat. But I didn't want to come across as the "smartest (smart-ass) guy in the room"

My plan was to gently correct the worst errors/misperceptions ("it's the bottleneck, stupid") and say that the state of the art had moved ahead, even of fq_codel, then point to the Cake page on the site.

But I looked at the Cake page on Bufferbloat.net and wonder if everything there
is true, or whether it would be good to update
it. https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/Cake/

It's pretty much true.

Good. I will try this weekend to organize that info into a page that would serve well readers like those from the pcmech.com site who're new to the subject, and curious about Cake/Bufferbloat.
