This is very exciting, and I can't wait to see some performance data from it. Bufferbloat is a huge problem so it's awesome to see work being done in this area.

This is very exciting, and I can't wait to see some performance data from it. Bufferbloat is a huge problem so it's awesome to see work being done in this area. It's really cool also that it can improve things just by patching servers! How does this interact sending traffic through routers using algorithms like fq_codel to reduce bufferbloat? Is it better to just have one or the other or do they work well together?

CoDel is meant to solve bufferbloat at a single network node, not along the entire path. TCP BBR, as a consequence of more accurate congestion avoidance, seems to (hopefully) reduce bufferbloat along the entire path. Both of these algorithms should work together well since they do not really compete. (assuming that I understand...)
