BBR Congestion Control Development

BBR is a new congestion control algorithm developed at Google.
  • There is a blog post on the launch of BBR for Google.com, YouTube, and Google Cloud Platform
  • There is a paper describing BBR in the February 2017 issue of CACM (the same content is in the ACM Queue BBR article from Oct 2016).
  • There are Internet Drafts specifying the BBR algorithm and the delivery rate estimation algorithm used by BBRv1.
  • BBR code from the BBR team at Google:
  • Quick start: a guide for getting started with the Linux TCP BBR implementation
  • BBR FAQ: frequently asked questions related to BBR and its implementations
