Re: [Cake] Cake not more CPU efficient than HTB+FQ-CoDel (anymore)?

[Sebastian Moeller <moeller0@gmx.de>]

Sorry,

just looked at the code and my recollection is wrong. I could have sworn that I purged cake as a shaper from simple.qos when I created piece_of_cake, but apparently that was just a fever dream...

Sorry for the noise.
