This looks interesting: https://blog.apnic.net/2020/09/18/nest-a-simpleefficient-tool-to-study-congestion-control/
Good - using namespaces for testing is a good idea.
- testbed is GPLv2
Bad - using iperf as your main test tool encourages buffer bloat
- Does 5G really need yet another congestion control algorithm?
Or it this just a way to get the grant money?
Or worse, the start of proprietary TCP congestion control.
