-t the_test_parameters # helps to name the plots, so you can compare them later
--step-size=.05 # sample at a higher frequency

Is it not a docsis 3.1 modem? Because your unshaped result was *miserable*.

0bps ?

with docsis framing you should be able to just say 10mbit, rather than 9.

cake-ack-filter=filter ? does it have filter-aggressive?

It looks like your provisioned rate was closer to 120. Try 110.

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.
