[Bloat] Does it makes sense to shape traffic with 16Kbit/s up and 16Kbit/s down?

You should be able to do this with Cake.  Unlike most other qdiscs, it will automatically adjust several parameters to work nicely with low-speed links, because with the built-in shaper it has knowledge of the speed.  I don't think I've tested it as low as 16Kbit, but I have used it at 64Kbit.

To keep things simple, you may want to specify "besteffort flows satellite" as parameters.  Some of those settings may also be available in a GUI.
