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
