1 /* Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT (BBR) congestion control
3 * BBR congestion control computes the sending rate based on the delivery
4 * rate (throughput) estimated from ACKs. In a nutshell:
6 * On each ACK, update our model of the network path:
7 * bottleneck_bandwidth = windowed_max(delivered / elapsed, 10 round trips)
8 * min_rtt = windowed_min(rtt, 10 seconds)
9 * pacing_rate = pacing_gain * bottleneck_bandwidth
10 * cwnd = max(cwnd_gain * bottleneck_bandwidth * min_rtt, 4)
12 * The core algorithm does not react directly to packet losses or delays,
13 * although BBR may adjust the size of next send per ACK when loss is
14 * observed, or adjust the sending rate if it estimates there is a
15 * traffic policer, in order to keep the drop rate reasonable.
17 * Here is a state transition diagram for BBR:
19 * |
20 * V
21 * +---> STARTUP ----+
22 * | | |
23 * | V |
24 * | DRAIN ----+
25 * | | |
26 * | V |
27 * +---> PROBE_BW ----+
28 * | ^ | |
29 * | | | |
30 * | +----+ |
31 * | |
32 * +---- PROBE_RTT <--+
34 * A BBR flow starts in STARTUP, and ramps up its sending rate quickly.
35 * When it estimates the pipe is full, it enters DRAIN to drain the queue.
36 * In steady state a BBR flow only uses PROBE_BW and PROBE_RTT.
37 * A long-lived BBR flow spends the vast majority of its time remaining
38 * (repeatedly) in PROBE_BW, fully probing and utilizing the pipe's bandwidth
39 * in a fair manner, with a small, bounded queue. *If* a flow has been
40 * continuously sending for the entire min_rtt window, and hasn't seen an RTT
41 * sample that matches or decreases its min_rtt estimate for 10 seconds, then
42 * it briefly enters PROBE_RTT to cut inflight to a minimum value to re-probe
43 * the path's two-way propagation delay (min_rtt). When exiting PROBE_RTT, if
44 * we estimated that we reached the full bw of the pipe then we enter PROBE_BW;
45 * otherwise we enter STARTUP to try to fill the pipe.
47 * BBR is described in detail in:
48 * "BBR: Congestion-Based Congestion Control",
49 * Neal Cardwell, Yuchung Cheng, C. Stephen Gunn, Soheil Hassas Yeganeh,
50 * Van Jacobson. ACM Queue, Vol. 14 No. 5, September-October 2016.
52 * There is a public e-mail list for discussing BBR development and testing:
53 * https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bbr-dev
55 * NOTE: BBR might be used with the fq qdisc ("man tc-fq") with pacing enabled,
56 * otherwise TCP stack falls back to an internal pacing using one high
57 * resolution timer per TCP socket and may use more resources.
