"A network" maybe sometimes yes; not the internet. In a civilization you're not exposed to threats from the entire planet.

Whatever "real-world" agency is actually policing the internet has much bigger fish to fry than congestion control. Among many others, ransomware looks higher priority to me. Good luck with that one already.

I don't think anyone expects the internet to look anything like a civilization any time soon. I hope the Linux network stack maintainers are not under such an illusion.
