	Most discussion happens in the following OpenWrt thread:
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/cake-w-adaptive-bandwidth/135379/1202
or you can open an issue in the github. About making a difference we added some potting code which can turn the log files into partially interpretable plots.

I use (192.168.42.1 is my OpenWrt/TurrisOS router running cake-autorate):
ssh root at 192.168.42.1 'kill -USR1 $( cat /var/run/cake-autorate/maintain_log_file_pid )'  && sleep 30 && scp  root at 192.168.42.1:/var/log/cake-autorate_*.log.gz ./SCRATCH/ && ssh root at 192.168.42.1 'rm /var/log/cake-autorate_*.log.gz'

followed by:
octave -qf --eval 'fn_parse_autorate_log("./SCRATCH/cake-autorate_2022-12-01_20_21_16.log.gz", [], [])'

this requires octave >= 6.4... once you have that post your plots to the forum thread and we can take it from there.



Regards
	Sebastian

P.S.: I cc'd Andrew cake-autorate's principal developer, he might have more ideas...
