Re: [Cake] [Bloat] some mikrotik comments

Awesome, thanks! I went and subscribed to that topic so I'll get notifications when people reply. Hope to jump in once I'm less busy with my day to day work.

Regarding more powerful hardware, I think someone replied to the mailing list earlier offering to run some tests. Sounded like he might have some bigger hardware to test out. Thomas Croghan back on Monday morning it looks like.

Might also be worth reaching out to these guys to do some testing or evangelizing at least: https://thebrotherswisp.com/ They run a podcast with a rotating cast of network operators, WISPS, etc. And they seem pretty clued into the MIkrotik world specifically. I recall that you've jumped onto a podcast or two recently so that's why I bring it up.

Anyway, I listen from time to time and one of the hosts brought up being very interested in using fq_codel and CAKE in a Multi Dwelling Unit scenario (mentioned here after a 3-4 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFKG_cXGPrE&t=4444s). Actually, I think they even name check you in an earlier episode (found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1QitymNZTo&t=4285s), although one host was a bit skeptical of everything.

Thx. I put the discussion and plots over here:

https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=179307

I might - should I feel like expounding more later this week - go back to the flent.gz files to discuss other features. Ironically the chromebook I have in front of me doesn't want to let me download a file via email and make it visible in the real filesystem. I'm vm'd off from myself for some reason.

But my big goal, honestly, was to get some mikrotik users to test their bigger iron...

Nothing super high end but enough to do a little testing. I have CAKE set to do some shaping and so far seems functional. At least the bufferbloat speed tests from DSLReports and WaveForm indicate some shaping is happening. If you'd like any information about the unit, the v7 firmware, or particular tests run then I'd be happy to help out.
