Thanks Jonathan!

Curious and curiouser

I'd love to understand the difference between the tests I've been doing and your tests.

How many TCP flows did you have please ( cake performance seems to drop significantly with increased number of TCP flows, although I need to do more testing to understand why )?
What was the RTT?
Load tool?
... so many questions :)

If all your traffic is over the LAN, and you have a machine and application tuned for the extra-low latencies that a LAN can offer, then setting LAN-grade targets for Cake might make sense. But most people's traffic is a mixture, with the performance of Internet traffic being more important, and that is better served by the *default* settings.

You ran fq_codel at its default settings. These are equivalent to Cake's default settings, so far as the AQM activity is concerned. I'm just asking for a like-to-like comparison. You could be pleasantly surprised.
