About the per-host fairness download issue: while it's kinda resolved I still

        This might be true, but for cake to meaningfully resolve bufferbloat 
you absolutely _must_ take care to account for encapsulation and overhead one 
way or another.

well, one way to account for this overhead is to set the allowed bandwidth low enough. Being precise on this overhead lets you get closer to the actual line rate, but if you have enough bandwidth, it may not really matter (i.e. if you have a 100Mb connection and only get 70Mb out of it, you probably won't notice unless you go looking)
