Very interesting. Have you tried something other than dctcp here
(e.g. westwood or lp?)

Have you considered the case where the route changes underneath
you from one device to another?

Example, here I am routing everything through eth0, where I
would want cubic, probably...

root@...esha:~/git/tinc# ip route
default via 172.26.16.1 dev eth0  proto babel onlink
69.181.216.0/22 via 172.26.16.1 dev eth0  proto babel onlink
169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0  scope link  metric 1000
172.26.16.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 172.26.16.177
172.26.16.1 via 172.26.16.1 dev eth0  proto babel onlink
172.26.16.112 via 172.26.16.112 dev eth0  proto babel onlink
172.26.17.0/24 via 172.26.16.1 dev eth0  proto babel onlink
172.26.17.3 via 172.26.16.1 dev eth0  proto babel onlink
172.26.17.227 via 172.26.16.1 dev eth0  proto babel onlink
192.168.7.0/30 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.7.1  metric 1
192.168.7.2 via 172.26.16.112 dev eth0  proto babel onlink

And I pull the plug, and everything flips over to wlan0,
where I might want westwood (or something saner than
that. It might be nice to have a per-device cc default
algorithm...)

root@...esha:~/git/tinc# ip route
default via 172.26.17.224 dev wlan0  proto babel onlink
69.181.216.0/22 via 172.26.17.224 dev wlan0  proto babel onlink
169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0  scope link  metric 1000
172.26.16.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 172.26.16.177
172.26.16.1 via 172.26.17.227 dev wlan0  proto babel onlink
172.26.16.112 via 172.26.17.227 dev wlan0  proto babel onlink
172.26.17.0/24 via 172.26.17.224 dev wlan0  proto babel onlink
172.26.17.3 via 172.26.17.227 dev wlan0  proto babel onlink
172.26.17.227 via 172.26.17.227 dev wlan0  proto babel onlink
192.168.7.0/30 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.7.1  metric 1
192.168.7.2 via 172.26.17.227 dev wlan0  proto babel onlink
