Description
With the release of 25.12, cake_mq is available for use. I wonder if there are plans to add cake_mq options on qosify. I was able to enable cake_mq on the egress by running tc qdisc replace ... cake_mq, but ingress requires the ifb to have multiple queues. I am still trying to test out if that would benefit my setup, and I haven't had much free time to tinker on this unfortunately. My understanding is that it would involve a few things:
- Parsing a config for enabling cake_mq
- Setting up the ifb interface with multiple queues
- Calling tc with cake_mq instead of cake
Is there interest in including cake_mq support into this tool?
