Subject: Re: It is time to put some TCP congestion controls out to pasture

Heh,  I was going to propose moving FlexIS into the kernel to spark
more new development here:

It is a new lower than best effort CC. Also LEDBAT++ would be
potentially useful.

I think you can retire bic at least. I would have to look over the
others, There are a lot of users of vegas! still! but westwood is
better... could there be an upgrade path for those still selecting old
ccs?

My understanding is BBRv3 is going to replace BBR?
