Description

Changing character of traffic in last 5-7 years powered extremely by the fact that

- IoT and SmartHome technologies become widely using

create request for modern, more effective Congestion Control (CC) technologies.

And this is the time where BBR2, QUIC, RACK protocols come in. Some of them already integrated in most popular nix base distributives.
