[Cake] Configuring cake for VDSL2 bridged connection

[Alan Jenkins]

The RRUL graph shows 4 simultaneous flows.  The total of 4 flows 
averaging 7Mb/s is 28Mb/s :).

I think it's more obvious when you know what the legend means. The flows 
have different service markings (which may or may not have any effect).

BE = "Best effort" (neither high nor low priority)
BK = Background
EF = "Expedited forwarding"

I think CS5 is another high priority mark.  The abbreviation doesn't 
mean anything specific, it's just how it's coded really...  it's a bit 
of a swamp, because there's no standard that works internet-wide, even 
for a low priority mark.  IIRC there's one mark that ends up being 
treated as low priority in one "standard" and high priority in another.
