/**
 * The class defines CCP as a congestion control "algorithm", but it really acts
 * as a proxy layer between the datapath (mvfst) and CCP. Each instance of this
 * class corresponds to a separate connection that is using CCP for congestion
 * control.
 *
 * From the perspective of this class, the behavior is very simple:
 * - On each ack or loss, it updates some statistics about the connection (rtt
 * etc.)
 * - Once in a while, after updating it will batch the last few updates and send
 * them to CCP (via IPC).
 * - Asynchronously, at any time CCP may send a message (via IPC) telling this
 * connection to use a new cwnd or rate. CCPReader receives these messages,
 * looks up the correct instance of QuicCCP for that connection, and calls
 * setCongestionWindow or setPacingRate. This class does not contain any logic
 * for updating the cwnd (or rate) directly, they only change when directed by
 * CCP.
 *
 * The low-level functionality, such as batching updates, serializing them,
 * sending IPC, etc. is handled by libccp, which is a helper library provided by
 * the CCP authors.
 *
 * If, for whatever reason, mvfst has not received any responses from CCP for a
 * while, we go into "fallback" mode and use cubic instead, by simply proxying
 * the acks, losses, and cwnd updates to an internal instance of QuicCubic. If
 * connection is re-established with CCP, we leave fallback mode and pick up the
 * cwnd where cubic left off.
