[Cake] CAKE on the bonding interface (master) or the bonded interfaces (slaves)?

Hi CAKE folks,

I'm new to traffic shaping, just a quick question here:

I have this virtual NIC set up and a few physical NICs bonded to it. Shall
I apply the CAKE algorithm on the virtual one or the physical ones, or all
of them? If either can do it, which is the best?

Thanks,
Eric

Are you using the shaper (i.e. setting a bandwidth) or shaping on ingress as well?

If so, I'd apply CAKE on the virtual NIC, but if you're running line rate and have a physical NIC with BQL support in the driver, I'd do each individual NIC

(assuming the bonding driver isn't able to do BQL)

Best Regards
Nils
