I found out you can build custom kernels for the UDM Pro. The current one
doesn't have CAKE, but it does have FQ_CODEL so I switched to that for now.
I'll get around to building a custom kernel in the coming weeks.

I'm running pihole and ntopng now:

Nice find!

I guess someone finally managed to coax the kernel sources out of them. Still nothing on the download page, so I guess you got to reach out to them yourself if you'd like a copy.

Are you on the beta firmware that got upgraded to kernel 4.19 Nathan? Wouldn't have high expectations of CAKE being enabled, but at least you won't have to backport.

Either way the software on those things are a disappointment, so if I ever get one it'll be to run OpenWrt on (or just plain Alpine/Debian or similar).

Best Regards
Nils

Yep, I run the latest code:
Linux Nathan-UDMP 4.19.152-al-linux-v10.2.0-v1.10.0-12.3672-bace201 #1 SMP
Fri May 28 18:00:20 UTC 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

At least it has fq_codel now...

It always had fq_codel (“smart queues”) but they buried it in the “old gui”. Their default bandwidth test doesn’t set it right and they missed scaling the quantum properly so it scaled to a gbit.

toss the sqm-scripts onto it…

lastly, sch_cake builds out of tree for linux versions as old as linux 3.10.
