[Cake] Configuring cake for VDSL2 bridged connection

[Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant]

The 'less wrong' overhead figure is 12.  The incumbent telco BT who 
provide access to the 'last mile' (or the bit from the nearest FTTC 
cabinet and the property) use a VLAN tag, adding another 4 bytes to each 
frame going over the wire.


The above guesswork based on SIN498 http://www.sinet.bt.com/sinet/SINs/  
(and inspection of the default settings on a BT supplied modem)  I offer 
it as in theory being 'less wrong' rather than a practical 'correct'.
