Bug Description
At present the Ubuntu 20.04 linux-image-kvm kernel package don't include the tcp_bbr, sch_cake and sch_fq_codel kernel modules. The latter has been default on desktop for a number of release cycles; cake improves on this.
These queueing disciplines are instrumental to reducing queueing latency [bufferbloat.net]; the TCP congestion control algo elevates bandwidth on lossy paths (think clients on radio networks).
Enabling these kernel modules will ensure Ubuntu has an optimally competitive network stack in cloud/VM systems.
