It doesn't discuss competition with either many users, with things like webrtc, or with those evil dial-a-speed schemes.
The internet is complex.
However, since the dial-a-speed evildoers haven't caused much controversy in the grand scheme of things, I don't think BPR will do real harm in that case.
I'm more concerned about unloaded parts of a circuit. Suppose some BPR streams fill one hop, and share other, higher-capacity, hops with Reno. Does Reno do as well then as it would if the BPR streams were Reno?
