Yeah, done, chuckled at that actually. I was using pfifo as the “cold pool”.

Oh I know, I wanted to make the script do “combination plots” at the end but never got to it. I’ll try to make an archive available next time. Meanwhile I just open up run pages in multiple browser tabs and keyboard shortcut between them. Tests the visual memory.

BTW each run links to the .flent.gz file, but if you want to review more runs at once it's a pain to download each of them...

You probably saw the `tc -s` output on teardown right? But can check out the test param...

I do —socket-stats and have TCP RTT plots, but you mean something beyond that?

Ok, next run is going to show lower bandwidths with nflows=32/32 and I think cake is really going to shine there.

Me too, going to try to get that in soon...

Thought so, that didn’t make it into round 1 but asap after that. Round 1 just kicked off for the night. I got most of the changes I wanted in but only had an hour on it today so nothing more...
