A paper with a detailed description of BBR will be published in ACM Queue, September-October 2016, as "BBR: Congestion-Based Congestion Control". BBR is widely deployed in production at Google. The patch series starts with a set of supporting infrastructure changes, including a few that extend the congestion control framework. The last patch adds BBR as a TCP congestion control module. Please see individual patches for the details. - v3 -> v4: - Updated tcp_bbr.c in "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control" to use const to qualify all the constant parameters. Thanks to Stephen Hemminger. - In "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control", remove the bbr_rate_kbps() function, which had a 64-bit divide that would be problematic on some architectures, and just use bbr_rate_bytes_per_sec() directly. Thanks to Kenneth Klette Jonassen for suggesting this. - In "tcp: switch back to proper tcp_skb_cb size check in tcp_init()", switched from sizeof(skb->cb) to FIELD_SIZEOF. Thanks to Lance Richardson for suggesting this. - Updated "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control" commit message with performance data, more details about deployment at Google, and another reminder to use fq with BBR. - Updated tcp_bbr.c in "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control" to use MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL"). - v2 -> v3: fix another issue caught by build bots: - adjust rate_sample struct initialization syntax to allow gcc-4.4 to compile the "tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection" patch; also adjusted some similar syntax in "tcp_bbr: add BBR congestion control" - v1 -> v2: fix issues caught by build bots: - fix "tcp: export data delivery rate" to use rate64 instead of rate, so there is a 64-bit numerator for the do_div call - fix conflicting definitions for minmax caused by "tcp: use windowed min filter library for TCP min_rtt estimation" with a new commit: tcp: cdg: rename struct minmax in tcp_cdg.c to avoid a naming conflict - fix warning about the use of __packed in "tcp: track data delivery rate for a TCP connection", which involves the addition of a new commit: tcp: switch back to proper tcp_skb_cb size check in tcp_init() ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
