        I believe Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant created a nice how-to for including cake into a recent openwrt firmware (see last section of  http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/Cake ) which I believe works well. So well actually that I believe both Arokh’s ( https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=50914 ) as well Hnyman’s ( https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=28392 ) community builds now include cake (not sure whether they contain the most recent cake though) so it could be as si ole as just flashing one of their pre-compiled firmwares and get into testing almost immediately.


Thanks Sebastian,
I have been doing battle on other fronts (hardware for MeshPoint) and now finally got back to dealing with cake... I'll try instructions, they look pretty straight forward.

What is the reason why cake in still not included by default in latest trunk? It would make testing much easier for wider number of people...

Cheers,
Valent.
