It's an algorithm for determining how fast to upload packets. This article just talks about how to enable it.
Here's the Wikipedia section about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_congestion_control#TCP_BBR
The gist is that instead of only throttling upload rate based on packet loss, BBR constantly measures roundtrip delay (ping) to determine how much bandwidth is available.
