Does it make any difference enabling BBR on a router?
The primary aim of BBR is to boot network utilization and reduce queues (that result into slow network activity): it should be deployed on servers, but not in the network or the client side
?
hello.
i like to ask , is the tcp-bbr mod out of box in
https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/targets/mvebu/generic/
or any other tcp congestion control, Westwood,H-TCP,tcp LoLa.
?
We are here (18.06 RC) with kernel 4.14.
However, I still don't see tcp_bbr (CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BBR) built as a default in config.seed.
If most peoples here don't need it, I still love to see it builds as "kmod" package.
The pull request is already here, but doesn't get merged. https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/868
Update: merged into master
It seems that the BBR is still not enabled on openwrt-18.06.0-rc2.
Hope we can get BBR support soon, because it's really nice.
Google BBR team calling for wifi testers..
bbr was not built in by default, you should build your own firmware with option CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BBR=y,
or check bbr kmod when running 'make menuconfig', it is a kernel build option.
