Added comprehensive documentation for the existing CAKE traffic shaping support in traffic-weir module. CAKE (Common Applications Kept Enhanced) is already fully implemented in the Go-based traffic-weir module with HTB and HFSC scheduler support.

Changes:

  • Created docs/TRAFFIC_SHAPING.md: Complete guide covering all three schedulers (CAKE, HTB, HFSC) with performance comparisons, use cases, configuration examples, and troubleshooting

  • Updated README.md: Added "Key Features" section highlighting CAKE with quick start example and traffic shaping overview

  • Created docs/examples/traffic_shaping_examples.md: Practical API examples including real-world scenarios (multi-tier VPN, office departments, family VPN), batch operations with Python/Bash scripts, and comprehensive error handling

  • Enhanced Docs/API_DOCUMENTATION.md: Expanded Traffic Weir API section with detailed scheduler comparison table, performance benchmarks, selection guide, and important notes about scheduler locking

Key highlights:

  • CAKE is recommended for modern deployments (gaming, VoIP, mixed traffic)
  • Automatic bufferbloat mitigation keeps latency under 20ms under load
  • Per-flow NAT-aware fairness prevents bandwidth monopolization
  • HTB for legacy systems and simple rate limiting
  • HFSC for guaranteed bandwidth SLA requirements

Implementation already exists in:

  • Src/traffic_weir/scheduler/cake.go
  • Src/traffic_weir/tests/cake_test.go
  • Src/wiregate/routes/traffic_weir_api.py (API integration)

This PR addresses issue #77 by documenting the existing CAKE implementation rather than adding redundant Python scripts.
