Google's distribution of documentation, scripts, and reference materials for the BBR TCP/QUIC congestion control algorithm, including the Linux TCP BBRv3 kernel module source. It serves as the canonical home for BBR releases, FAQs, quick-start guides, and links to the IETF standardization draft.

Use cases

  • enable BBR congestion control on a Linux server
  • build and run TCP BBRv3 kernel module
  • improve network throughput on high-latency links
  • understand how the BBR algorithm works
  • track the IETF standardization of BBR
  • find the QUIC BBR implementation source

When to choose

  • you want to deploy or tune BBR congestion control on Linux
  • you need authoritative documentation or the FAQ for BBR
  • you're researching or implementing congestion control algorithms

When to avoid

  • you need a userspace networking library or API to call from application code
  • you're on a non-Linux platform without kernel TCP BBR support
  • you just want a drop-in network performance tool with no kernel configuration
