Similarly to Eric's comments on v1 I'm not seeing the clear motivation here. Modern high speed UDP users will have a CC in user space, back off and set transmission time on the packets. Could you describe your _actual_ use case / application in more detail?Not everyone implements QUIC or CC, it is really hard to implement CC from scratch. This backpressure mechnism is much simpler than CC (TCP or QUIC), as clearly it does not deal with any remote congestions. And, although this patchset only implements UDP backpressure, it can be applied to any other protocol easily, it is protocol-independent.
No disagreement on any of your points. But I don't feel like you answered my question about the details of the use case.
