Sorry, what is flowblind? Yes, I am using cake :)

flowblind gives you a single queue, who's maximum size is managed by (a modified) codel.  It's useful for testing the codel.

In the default (non- flowblind), each stream is randomly assigned to one of hundreds of queues.  In fact cake magically avoids flows sharing queues until they have to.  Then each queue is treated "fairly" w.r.t the bandwidth it can use.

So is that latency increase when uploading and downloading? And so I should
be aiming to achieve that as I slowly increase the bandwidth?

That's the general idea, yes.

For looking at latency statistics, FLENT also has a cumulative probability graph.

If you'd rather have the numbers summarized for you, you might prefer Richard's netperfrunner.  That's what I used to start with.  It's not 100% the same but very close.  (It's designed to only use ping for latency, which means it can use as close a target - on the other side of the ISP link - as possible.  E.g. taken from "traceroute".  I found that was useful for sensitivity).

So you can read off (+calculate) overall throughput, in both directions.

And it looks like your latency under load rises by only about 2ms.  That's
the sort of thing we're aiming for.

Pure codel aims for 5ms, so I take it you're using fq_codel.

/reads subject line

or using standard cake, and not passing `flowblind` to disable the fair
queuing

And... yes

(1500 * 8) / 4_000_000 = 0.003

It takes 3ms to transmit a full packet in the slower direction. So when
it's busy, ping can be delayed on average by 1.5ms (while the current
packet is transmitted).  Something like that anyway.

Thanks for the reply. I understand now 😀

What can be taken from these graphs? I'm afraid I really am lost now.
