Hi all,

I'm curious how many have tried out/experimented with Google's TCP BBR congestion control algorithm?

I came across this recently as I was looking for some information on Linux networking tuning. Enabling it on my Linux hosts has resulted in better upload performance on my symmetric 1Gbit FTTH internet connection, especially over longer distances. Local tests (e.g. using Flent) are also a bit more stable and show somewhat improved performance.

Curious to hear if anyone has had any experience with TCP BBR. Thanks in advance.
