latency.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><font face="Times
New Roman, serif">I've been using cake for a while now. I use
dual flow isolation on my LAN, so I shape my LAN interface.
When I download a game on steam, I have about 11-16 bulk flows.
I use the command: <b>watch -n 1 tc -s qdisc show dev eth1</b>
to see my qdisc stats refreshed every second. I notice that I
will see sparse delays of 13-22 ms often.</font> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><font face="Times
New Roman, serif">Is that normal, and what are common sparse
delays I should be seeing under that load?<br>
</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><font face="Times
New Roman, serif">I have tried using HTB + FQ_Codel, and I don't
see the latency spikes I have with cake.<br>
