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.
