[Cake] A few puzzling Cake results

[Jonas Mårtensson]

Dave, in the thread referenced earlier that led to this change you said:

"The loss of throughput here compared to non-ingress mode is a blocker for
mainlining and for that matter, wedging this into lede."

I'm curious, what would the latency be in Toke's experiment with
non-ingress mode and with the 4 MTU change reverted? The same as for
fq_codel?
