They aim a completely different problems.
The thing Joshua mentioned about BDR being *async* means that data will
be *eventually* consistent. This tackles the problem with nodes which
are distant (one node in London, another in NY, one in Tokio, ...)
PgPools replication_mode is for nodes on a local network. It would never
scale like BDR with geographically distant nodes.
Conclusion, they don't solve the same problem, so it's hard to compare.
