He wants the world to know that TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) congestion control is fundamentally broken and he has a proposal for the IETF to fix the root cause of the problem.

Computer-designed algorithms for controlling network congestion yield transmission rates two to three times as high as those designed by humans.

Typically, TCP congestion-control algorithms look at two main factors: whether individual data packets arrive at their intended destination and, if they do, how long it takes for acknowledgments ...

Google today announced that TCP BBR, a new congestion-control algorithm is now available to its Cloud Platform users. The general idea here is to improve on the existing congestion-control ...

This was fixed by implementing four congestion control algorithms in TCP that make sure it doesn't start to send packets too fast, too soon and that it slows down when it thinks there is congestion.

Google's BBR algorithm for handling TCP traffic congestion has gained huge ground this week after Google announced integration with Google Cloud, a cloud hosting platform offered by Google to ...

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) now features a cutting-edge new congestion control algorithm, TCP BBR, which achieves higher bandwidths and lower latencies for internet traffic. This is the same BBR that ...

Google has started using a new congestion control algorithm for its Cloud Platform, following sucessful implementation on google.com and YouTube. TCP BBR achieves higher bandwidth and lower latencies ...

Google unveils a new algorithm that's already making Google.com and YouTube faster — with the rest of the web to follow, hopefully.

The BBR ("Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time") algorithm does away with the assumption that packet loss equals network congestion.
