BBR Congestion Control Development
BBR is a new congestion control algorithm developed at Google.
There is an Internet Draft specifying the
BBRv3 algorithm
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
).
BBR code from the BBR team at Google:
BBRv1:
BBRv1 for Linux TCP
(added in Linux v4.9:
main commit
)
BBRv1 for QUIC:
.cc
|
.h
BBRv2 (alpha):
BBRv2 alpha for Linux TCP
BBRv2 alpha for QUIC:
.cc
|
.h
Quick start
:
a guide for getting started with the Linux TCP BBR implementation
BBR FAQ
: frequently asked questions related to BBR and its implementations
