[Cake] Fwd: [bbr-dev] BBR v2 ECN

[Dave Taht]

At least there will be a testable version of a L4S compliant BBRv2
before it goes upstream. (see below)

I fear for what this will do to every inbound shaper in the world.
(and also network namespaces, the fq_codel for wifi stuff, and the
entire fq_codel deployment in general).

All along (regardless of the SCE idea) I'd hoped for a simple,
conservative rfc3168 compliant response in BBR to CE markings, and I
didn't like how much BBR ignores packet loss as a signal in the first
place. I thought, when the end users are desperately inbound shaping
to keep their networks usable for all traffic, explicit signalling
from that existing userbase with that expectation for a reasonable
response seemed so reasonable...

Hi Ingemar,

Yes, we still plan on including L4S support for BBRv2.

BBRv2 is not upstream in the Linux TCP code base yet. We are working
on getting the code ready for a pre-release/RFC version that we plan
on posting at:
   https://github.com/google/bbr

But indeed tp->delivered and tp->delivered_ce are part of the
infrastructure inside the Linux TCP stack that BBRv2 makes use of.

cheers,
neal
