[Bloat] Detecting FQ at the bottleneck

["Toke Høiland-Jørgensen" <toke@toke.dk>]

This popped up in my Google Scholar mentions:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.08362

It proposes using a delay-based CC when FQ is present, and a loss-based
when it isn't. It has a fairly straight-forward mechanism for detecting
an FQ bottleneck: Start two flows where one has 2x the sending rate than
the other, keep increasing their sending rate until both suffer losses,
and observe the goodput at this point: If it's ~1:1 there's FQ,
otherwise there isn't.

They cite 98% detection accuracy using netns-based tests and sch_fq.
