Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 net-next 16/16] tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control

I ran some BBR tests under different scenarios and I am concerned that
under some conditions BBR can become very aggressive. It seems BBR flows
can decide that losses are un-correlated to congestion, and when in this
mode, they will maintain large cwnds regardless of the losses. In cases
when BBR is wrong, it will starve non-BBR flows sharing the bottleneck. Im
some of my tests even some BBR flows were starved when some flows got into
this mode and others didnĀ¹t.

I posted the report here:
