CAKE-MAINT
Improve network queue management algorithms on Linux
With the wider and wider adoption of the fq_codel (RFC8290) and cake codebases in shipping products, many issues in the field have been discovered, and features to address them proposed but not mainlined into Linux (or the BSDs). This project intends to tighten up the corner cases, fix up multiple observed problems, and add some needed new features if possible, as well as take a stab at addressing the biggest observed problem in the field for cake - not scaling shaping well to ever more popular multi-core routers.
In addition the project will work on a new release of babeld, the reference implementation of RFC 8966 (Babel Routing Protocol) and on standardisation of Sroam, a protocol for WiFi roaming.
