What is the counterpart of Braess’s paradox?

How is Braess’s paradox related to Nash equilibrium?
While the system is not in a Nash equilibrium, individual drivers are able to improve their respective travel times by changing the routes they take. In the case of Braess’ paradox, drivers will continue to switch until they reach Nash equilibrium despite the reduction in overall performance.
