[Cake] ER-X now running cake, thanks for the help. :)

[<erik.taraldsen@telenor.com>]

Just a follow-up from the great support I got here.  I am now running ER-X with cake with the precompiled binaries from Nils.  I need to do some tuning and get it properly into the lab.  Currently I'm dogfooding it at home.


Any other suggestions in order to make the topping of the cake so to speek?  I notice for example that all interfaces pr default use pfifo_fast and run a txqueuelen of 1000.  Which is a bit deep for running a 20/1 adsl line.



And a slight rant on the default fq_codel setup for ER-X, 10240 packets?  Before reducing that I got a one way delay of more than 600ms when I congested the line with udp.  Sane defaults


Default from "smart queue" fq_codel

qdisc htb 1: dev eth4 root refcnt 2 r2q 10 default 10 direct_packets_stat 0 direct_qlen 1000
qdisc fq_codel 100: dev eth4 parent 1:10 limit 10240p flows 1024 quantum 1514 target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms ecn
