I understand that TWCC is more chatty, and sends more detailed information
to the sender. What I don't understand is why this information is useful:
REMB performs the exact same computation as TWCC, but it does it on the
receiver side, and only sends the result to the sender, thus avoiding the
chattiness but yielding the exact same result.
What am I missing? What exactly does TWCC buy you?
