Could you be a bit more specific as to what you are missing, and where, please?

like, for inbound traffic, what's the difference between no shaping and besteffort? thanks.

Hello.

For inbound, we don't trust the incoming traffic priorities because unfortunately they are abused too many times.

So, wash and best-effort only mean to give every flow equal priority.

But shaping happens nonetheless and available bandwidth is equally distributed among flows.

Also, since we are shaping and rate limiting, you can avoid buffer bloat on the receiving side too, night and day between cake and anything else!

Hope this clarifies your doubts.

Take care!

thanks for sharing the details, Ivan. yes, it helps me a lot. talking about CAKE, if my ISP provides me 50Mbps downstream, what's difference between 'bandwidth unlimited' and e.g 'bandwidth 50Mbit' in inbound shaping?

'unlimited' means 'no shaping', so you won't be helping any bufferbloat in your ISPs equipment. Depending on your line, you may need to set the inbound shaper a few % lower than your actual bandwidth to be sure you get the desired effect, though... Testing is your friend here (e.g., using dslreports.com/speedtest)
