The future of optimal TCP involves robots! Jae Won Chung et al will discuss an extension to BBR they call BBRx which is loosely coupled to machine learning. They will describe how they study TCP path attributes in user space at runtime to find an optimal throughput-delay operating point. The results are then fed back to the kernel to tweak it.

Performance of BBRx is evaluated in both LTE mobile as well as telco wireline environments and compared with classical CUBIC and BBR.
