Thanks so much @tohojo and @dave14305 - this simplifies things significantly.

@tohojo might it not still be an idea to further include switches for the cake qdisc that enables or disables marking?

I'm also curious about your thoughts about ECN Vs dropping in general. Most mobile operators (including Vodafone UK it seems) bleach the ECN bits. How beneficial would it be if they did not?

I see that you and @moeller0 discussed here:

enabling or disabling marking based on rate.
