And the LTE links do have as documented higher delays, even higher under mobility. Yet the bbr paper claims that bbr works well for them as well. But the LTE test results I have got so far do not seem very promising.

Also as much as I love the rrul tests for quickly showing the characteristics of a link under load, BBR makes the assumption that flows start up one at a time, and a better string of basic tests would be to use tcp_nup or tcp_ndown.
