[Bloat] waveform bufferbloat test is GOOOD

@Dave,


using Chrome instead of Safari I get this with SQM:

all measured via an USB3 realtek gigabit-ethernet dongle on a macbook with 10.14.6.

To me this looks like cake really helps, but I wonder what TCP is in use by cloudflare's CDN nodes... I had expected somewhat larger effects.

Best Regards

My tests with SQM also report the unloaded latency figure ion the top right as 0ms (while my link forces A >=12ms RTT to the first IP address after my router). I would guess that there is still some development going on and hopefully that will be fixed.
