Yeah.  They were doing experiments with LTE, which has pretty horrendous
latency.  (As in driving around Cambridge with an LTE modem and collecting
packet traces.)

(Dave -- they were doing *experiments*.  Networking academics doing actual
experiments, imagine that.)

Keith got a position (no suprise there, he's very good), so he's very busy
with teaching and setting up his research team.  But I see he's published
a related paper at SIGCOMM last year:

    Anirudh Sivaraman, Keith Winstein, Pratiksha Thaker, Hari Balakrishnan.
    An experimental study of the learnability of congestion control.
