A little off topic, but the TCP BBR Congestion Control they mention looks promising. I've been annoyed by "Bufferbloat" for over a decade and find different solutions to the problem pretty fascinating.
The nice part about this solution is that it doesn't require making changes to the individual nodes on the network (e.g. cable modem) in the way that other solutions have required (small and fair queues).
It also appears to be able to avoid the usual packet-drops of regular TCP congestion control.
