Yes, that's exactly what it's meant for. The option changes cake's
accounting so that packets that are dropped are accounted as part of the
effective bandwidth of the link (since on ingress, even if they're
dropped they have already traversed the bottleneck link). This should
help keep the bottleneck under tighter control...
