= CAKE (Common Applications Kept Enhanced) = CAKE is active queue management/queuing discipline currently available for the linux kernel. It aims to be an easy to configure, comprehensive solution to bufferbloat at the network edge.

CAKE is both a backronym (Common Applications Kept Enhanced) as well as a play on words with another qdisc, PIE (Proportional Integral controller-Enhanced) as well as hinting at the well known phrase "You can't have your cake and eat it". Of course with CAKE you can both have your cake (use all your link capacity) and eat it (have low latency too). Similarly part of the internal algorithm is a hybrid of fq_codel and blue which came to be known as cobalt.
