Subject: Cake not doing rate limiting in a way it is expected to do
Date: Tue, 28 May 2019 06:23:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAA5aLPgz2Pzi5qNZkHwtN=fEXEwRpCQYFUkEzRWkdT39+YNWFA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Cake is expected to handle traffic in 2 steps :
First is on the basis of host
Second is within every host, on the basis of flow
So, if I limit traffic to 20Mbps shared across 2 host A & B,
Following are various scenarios, expectation and observations
1. If either A or B is downloading, they will be getting speed of 20Mbps
Observation: Meeting with expectation
2. If both A & B downloads (single download each), each will be
getting speed of 20Mbps
Observation: Meeting with expecation but its very jittery (around
20%), i.e. speed varies from 8Mbps to 12 Mbps. If I use fq_codel speed
is same BUT jitter is very less (around 1%).
3. Now if A starts 3 downloads, and B is still having single download,
A each download should be around 3.3 Mbps and B should be around
10Mbps
Observation: Around 5 Mbps for each download with lot of jitter, i.e.
no advantage of having CAKE!!!
