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 * BBR is described in detail in:
18 * "BBR: Congestion-Based Congestion Control",
19 * Neal Cardwell, Yuchung Cheng, C. Stephen Gunn, Soheil Hassas Yeganeh,
20 * Van Jacobson. ACM Queue, Vol. 14 No. 5, September-October 2016.
22 * There is a public e-mail list for discussing BBR development and testing:
23 * https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bbr-dev
25 * NOTE: BBR *must* be used with the fq qdisc ("man tc-fq") with pacing enabled,
26 * since pacing is integral to the BBR design and implementation.
27 * BBR without pacing would not function properly, and may incur unnecessary
28 * high packet loss rates.
