[Cake] Cake vs fq_codel and c/burst on an ER-X bridge

[Sebastian Moeller]

Hi Dave, hi All,

so I tried to run with this idea and prototyped something into the burst_by_duration branch at the sqm repository. Would be interested to hear whether that does "the right thing" with your APU or on other's devices? The key variable is TARGET_BURST_DUR_MS in defaults.sh. Let me know how this performs for you (or whether there are bugs). As Toke proposed elsewhere I will try to streamline that branch to only configure burst size by duration so expect some changes in organization, but it should keep functional.

Best Regards
	Sebastian
