BBR
BBR is a smarter way of controlling sending speed that runs steadier and faster on lossy routes.
Think of it like this
The old way slams the brakes at the first sign of traffic; BBR estimates how fast the road can go and drives smoothly.
In this setup
Step 3 turns BBR on automatically, together with some network tuning. Nothing for you to do.
Common misconceptions
- "With BBR the route won't be congested": it uses the route better but cannot change the route itself.
