The article uses the term "CCAs" without ever defining it. I followed the links, and googled it, with no useful result.

What is a CCA in this context?

a Congestion Control Algorithm -- which uses various signals (mostly dropped packets) to try to estimate the available bandwidth and avoid network connection.

After some searching apparently it means “congestion control algorithm”. Definitely should have been defined in the article, especially since they have a whole section dedicated to explaining what it is.
