[Bloat] excellent result with OpenWrt 18.06.1 + CAKE on FTTH

[Mikael Abrahamsson]

Hi,

I am running "stock" OpenWrt 18.06.1 on an WRT1200AC with 
CAKE+piece_of_cake.qos and set to 250 down 100 up. This is on an ethernet 
point-to-point FTTH connection in Stockholm, Sweden. Basically just 
installed OpenWrt and then added the sqm-scripts-extra and luci-app-sqm 
packages, went in and configured the correct settings in the web UI, and 
then everything was great.

Biggest benefit with this FTTH setup is that I don't have to experience 
the first-hop sceduler I had with my previous DOCSIS connection (that also 
sometimes didn't do advertised bandwidth so I ended up getting 10-30ms of 
bufferbloat).

The smokeping screenshots below show the difference between DOCSIS and 
FTTH scheduler, but the much lower access RTT (1-2 ms ) and the lower PDV 
(which seems to be several ms on DOCSIS but not on my P2P FTTH).

Thanks everybody for the excellent packaging and ease of use for end users 
to get this to work. I've had this running now for 40 days without any 
issue.
