Nono, I just didn't understand the sentence as you phrased it. Yes, I did say that. We also mention scheduling as another way to do it in the coupled-cc draft.
I think scheduling is fine if all trafic is multiplexed on the same 5-tuple and you therefore know it will always share the same bottleneck.

Our coupled-cc mechanism was made to make the code easier. This applies when you have situations with a shared bottleneck detection algorithm as input, to decide whether you're coupling or not. This is a dynamic decision, requiring the ability to turn the coupling on and off.

E.g., quickly going from:  one congestion controller, 3 flows are scheduled onto it   to: 3 congestion controllers, one per flow  ...
and back...
...is probably not an easy matter to implement. Turning our coupled-cc mechanism on and off is very easy.

But since this is all on one host only, I don't think we should strictly enforce any certain behavior.

Cheers,
Michael
