sch_cake: Add overhead compensation support to the rate shaper
This commit adds configurable overhead compensation support to the rate shaper. With this feature, userspace can configure the actual bottleneck link overhead and encapsulation mode used, which will be used by the shaper to calculate the precise duration of each packet on the wire. This feature is needed because CAKE is often deployed one or two hops upstream of the actual bottleneck (which can be, e.g., inside a DSL or cable modem). In this case, the link layer characteristics and overhead reported by the kernel does not match the actual bottleneck. Being able to set the actual values in use makes it possible to configure the shaper rate much closer to the actual bottleneck rate (our experience shows it is possible to get with 0.1% of the actual physical bottleneck rate), thus keeping latency low without sacrificing bandwidth. The overhead compensation has three tunables: A fixed per-packet overhead size (which, if set, will be accounted from the IP packet header), a minimum packet size (MPU) and a framing mode supporting either ATM or PTM framing. We include a set of common keywords in TC to help users configure the right parameters. If no overhead value is set, the value reported by the kernel is used.
