[Cake] Recomended HW to run cake and fq_codel?

[erik.taraldsen at telenor.com]

I'm actually most interested in how this works on low bandwidth accesses.  Typicaly, what can we as an ISP do to make ADSL and VDSL less sucky for our customers.  So an Edge Router PoE-5  1) or the X sfp 2) would be a good platform for this?  (Don't need the PoE or sfp, but it's the easiest accessible version here in Norway).

Nils, very good of you to keep such packages precompiled! That will save me a lot of time.

Hi Erik

I can't speak for what's "recommended" hardware for running CAKE on, but
from experience I can say that CAKE runs quite well on the EdgeRouters.
The EdgeRouter platform does not have CAKE support built-in, so I
maintain pre-compiled binaries here:

In terms of expected performance, I've seen tests on the ER-Lite come
out at about ~80Mb/20Mb on a 200Mb/20Mb link. I've not been able to do
any "perf" runs on it myself, as my only one is in production. I don't
have an ER-X, but one of the guys on the UBNT forum claimed to get
~120-140 Mbit symmetric on the ER-X model.

Best Regards
Nils
