[Cake] [Bloat] some mikrotik comments

Unfortunately, didn't have time to setup my own server but here are the results for Flent on against the public east/west bufferbloat servers: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ap4u4Rte63FqjqQ8zMdwTTBmcd_mnw?e=675gyh

That's a shared OneDrive folder with results from running with CAKE and then without any kind of shaping. Here's some additional information as well.

This was the command that was run: flent rrul -p all_scaled -l 60 -H netperf.bufferbloat.net

Internet is a Spectrum cable connection. Bandwidth is supposed to be 100Mbps down and 10Mbps up. I have it limited to 90Mbps and 9Mbps for shaping. Here's also the CAKE settings I have configured on the router:

Upload Queue
name="cake-nat-doc-up" kind=cake cake-bandwidth=0bps cake-overhead=18 
     cake-mpu=64 cake-overhead-scheme=docsis cake-rtt=100ms 
     cake-diffserv=diffserv4 cake-flowmode=triple-isolate cake-nat=yes 
     cake-wash=no cake-ack-filter=filter 

Download Queue
name="cake-nat-doc" kind=cake cake-bandwidth=0bps cake-overhead=18 
     cake-mpu=64 cake-overhead-scheme=docsis cake-rtt=100ms 
     cake-diffserv=diffserv4 cake-flowmode=triple-isolate cake-nat=yes 
     cake-wash=no cake-ack-filter=none

Hopefully those settings are configured somewhat decently. Hope that helps!

goferit! We have flent servers throughout the world, mostly undocumented. I tend to prefer folk setup their own, less noise in the data....

Nothing super high end but enough to do a little testing. I have CAKE set to do some shaping and so far seems functional. At least the bufferbloat speed tests from DSLReports and WaveForm indicate some shaping is happening. If you'd like any information about the unit, the v7 firmware, or particular tests run then I'd be happy to help out.
