I use Linux, and I recently changed my TCP congestion control setting on my PC's to BBR [0][1]. I saw a noticeable improvement in downloads getting up to speed. And I think I have a good high-level understanding of how it works.
But I recently discovered CAKE [2][3] and I'm not quite sure where this fits in. It doesn't seem to be a congestion control algorithm like BBR, CUBIC or RENO. So what exactly is it? Does it do something similar, but on another network layer? Can I use BBR and CAKE together?
I'd really appreciate anyone's answers on this. I am not a network guy so please excuse my ignorance.
