[Cake] a little bit of cake testing

[Dave Taht]

I did a bit of setup on my connection to give me a decent rrul result.
(I was not rate limiting inbound enough) The duration of the initial
load spike is much less pronounced than the fq_codel result. I note
that I have offloads still on, so I imagine fq_codel is getting
tweaked by that....

but ingress gets way out of hand later on in this test. I can make an
argument for decay (count/2) being far too aggressive. In fact, even
count - 2 seemed too much in older testing I had done with other
variants. I would certainly like to get a feel for when and where the
three parts of codel are kicking in in various workloads.

I really need to get to where I can quickly get to a blog entry on
this stuff, and back to comprehensive, controlled testing.
