I wonder if there’s any profit in making fq_codel and cake behave more like a policer on ingress; that would be halfway to bobbie without writing a lot of new code.

A reasonable test would be to try configuring fq_codel with interval = target = 5ms.  If that works better, I could add similar functionality to cake.
