Are you talking about the fact that with competing connections, you
only see the current isolation quantum's equivalent f the actual rate? In that
case maybe parse the "tc -s qdisc" output to get an idea how much data/packets
cake managed to push through in total in each direction instead of relaying on
the measured goodput? I am probably barking up the wrong tree here...

That sounds like solid advice ;) Especially in the light of the
exceedingly useful "ingress" keyword, which under-load-will drop depending on a
flow's "unresponsiveness" such that more responsive flows end up getting a
somewhat bigger share of the post-cake throughput...

With or without isolation options?
