I’m sure this exists somewhere so this is more of a request-for-links, but 
what’s the current thinking on TCP CCA selection for Tor relays? While it has 
fairness issues (and reported long-tail issues for higher-latency links, though 
I can’t find good in-practice analysis of this), BBA should handle random 
packet loss much better than, eg, Cubic. This is likely less of an issue for 
western users, but many other parts of the world (especially China) see much 
higher packet loss due to regularly-overloaded links. I presume it is not good 
practice to change the default CCA for relays/bridges, but it seems BBA/BBAv2 
would be a worthwhile experiment to see if it improves the browsing experience 
for non-western tor users.
