@dlakelan how do I get inbound traffic destined for 192.168.1.1 to go through my veth-lan so that it gets prioritised by CAKE? I think only the outgoing ping request is caught on upload by CAKE on wan but the incoming response is not caught by CAKE on veth-lan. I don't know how to route traffic destined for the router itself through veth-lan 
:
These IP rules catch all inbound LAN traffic but unfortunately not traffic destined for 192.168.1.1:
14000: from all iif wan lookup veth-lan
14000: from all iif vpn lookup veth-lan
Even setting priorities to '0' doesn't catch traffic to 192.168.1.1.
How do I fix this? Without this, I presume the ping responses are not going to get prioritised as they should and so this will give a bleaker picture than reality?
I think this may explain why your script is overly throttling my download down to the minimum level I set even though I know it can handle a larger bandwidth without bufferbloat using CAKE.
@shm0, sorry, I should have referenced your script too:
@shm0 do you presently use one of these rate adjusting scripts? Did you tweak yours any further than as posted above? I'm keen to try it too.
The trouble is that with the exception of @lantis1008's solution (which has received a lot of positive reports, but would require a lot of work to adapt for OpenWrt), there seems to be no tried and tested solution with positive reports readily available on OpenWrt to this problem, and yet a lot of users seem to be very much in need of one.
I wonder why @lantis1008's solution has received as much positive feedback, and whether this means that this is the horse that should be backed in terms of getting something that can be made to work well for users on OpenWrt.
