One Line Summary

Can TCP Congestion control help with fairness and latency (bufferbloat)?

Abstract

Linux support a dozen advanced TCP congestion control algorithms as well as the original TCP Reno. This talk aims to provide information to lead an informed discussion of the influence these choices have on performance, fairness and delay. It will cover the history the different algorithms and the concept behind each one. The second part is a survey of different test results. The goal is to start an informed discussion of the criteria for choosing a TCP congestion
control and if existing Linux default is the best.
