BBR is conceptually a CC, but in FreeBSD it is NOT implemented as a CC module.
It is a TCP stack. You need to load it using
kldload tcp_bbr
and then either make it the default by
sudo sysctl net.inet.tcp.functions_default=bbr
or use the IPPROTO_TCP level socket option TCP_FUNCTION_BLK to set the stack
to BBR. The uperf test tool allows to set the TCP stack for measurements.
Please note that you need to compile the kernel with
makeoptions	WITH_EXTRA_TCP_STACKS=1
options		TCPHPTS
