# WWAN bufferbloat mitigation (cake shaping on the modem link).
# Why: operator LTE schedulers buffer deeply; loaded latency measured
# 305/449 ms (down/up) at ~51/5 Mbit/s in Gyumri (Viva-MTS, B20+B3+B7 3CA).
# Shaping slightly below measured throughput moves the queue onto this host
# where cake keeps it short — loaded latency dropped to ~70 ms. Applied by a
# NM dispatcher hook so it survives modem reconnects / interface recreation.
# Tune the two rates when the serving cell changes (mmcli / AT+QCAINFO).
