Google BBRv3 for Liquorix #151

Closed serialpotato closed 9 months ago

serialpotato commented 9 months ago

Hi. Google has recently announced Google BBRv3 TCP Congestion Protocol: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Google-BBRv3-Linux

I was wondering if we could expect the BBRv3 Congestion Protocol to be implemented in liquorix kernel as it has significant improvements over BBRv2 (currently used by liquorix) and is already included in 3rd party kernels such as xanmod.

However, xanmod has its own set of problems and liquorix is the daily driver for many kernel enthusiasts as its more optimized and yields better performance. I really wish we are able to enjoy liquorix with this new feature.

Thanks

Liquorix has already been using BBRv3 since it was added to Zen Kernel:

It's not obvious that it's running because Google replaced the existing BBR congestion control in the kernel without changing the name.

I do see though that my website is out of date with this information, so I'll update that when I get some time.
