> Set larger kernel TCP send and receive buffers and enable BBR congestion control I mean yeah, but that requires having access to the kernel config. so for most people multiplexing TCP is a useful way to maximise a link, without having to fiddle with stuff that is a pain to deploy. (politically as well as logistically) I deployed this "technique" before BBR was a thing. It worked well enough for what I needed it to do (move large images from London to California) It was pretty simple to engineer as well (mainly because I didn't have to make a fancy custom error detection/correction/rate limiting system over UDP )
