According to wikipedia, tcp flow control relies on the window size reported in an ack message. While most congestion control algorithms are lossbased, in that they rely on packet loss as a signal to lower rates of transmission, bbr, like vegas, is modelbased.
The congestion window, denoted congwin, imposes an additional constraint on how much traffic a host can send into a connection. Because the simple cc mechanism involves timeouts that cause retransmissions, it is important that hosts have an accurate timeout mechanism.
