That might be a reasonable conclusion, actually.  Here the governing bottleneck 
is clearly Cake’s shaper as configured, not the physical link.

Yes, at present only the overall shaper gets the special accounting.  In 
principle it might also be valid to modify the DRR++ system similarly, so that 
the fairness metric is also applied to the physical link being controlled, 
rather than to the delivery rate.

But as long as the difference between the physical link rate and the shaped 
rate is reasonably small, it works well enough for now.
