Nice to see you mark! and that you are using CAKE. Cake has a feature that helps on regulating multiple flows to a single destination: per host/per flow FQ. In the middle of a network this only works well with IPv6, along the edge it has a nat mode that helps there. We put it in to manage things like bittorrent really well.

Example:

The 8 way set associative hash is also much better than the direct map hash other things use, and I agree 256 flows is too small, 1024 set associative is great, 16k direct map comparable.
