Hi all, I've just flashed a LEDE image to my home router in order to
make use of Cake.

I noticed there are two different Queue setup scripts in luci-app-sqm:

layer_cake.qos:
This uses the cake qdisc as a replacement for htb as shaper and
fq_codel as leaf qdisc. This exercises cake's diffserv profile(s) as
different "layers" of priority. This script requires that cake is
selected as qdisc.

piece_of_cake.qos:
This just uses the cake qdisc as a replacement for htb as shaper and
fq_codel as leaf qdisc. It just does not come any simpler than this,
in other words it truely is a "piece of cake". This script requires
that cake is selected as qdisc.


Which would you recommend for a home network type setup and are there
any particular advantages or disadvantages to either option?

Many thanks.
