It might be more accurate to say that it estimates the delivery rate at the receiver by observing the ack stream, and aims to match that with the send rate. There is some periodic probing upwards to see if a higher delivery rate is possible, followed by a downwards drain cycle which, I think, pays some attention to the observed RTT. And there is also a cwnd mechanism overlaid as a safety valve.
Overall, it's very much a hybrid approach.
