>>Google is going to make patches that work for them, but that doesn't always mean it will work for everybody else. That makes sense from a purely commercial standpoint, but I was particularly intrigued when I noticed Van Jacobson[1] listed as one of the authors. For those who have read TCP/IP Illustrated (Vols 1 & 2), the four fundamental algorithms (slow start, congestion avoidance, fast retransmit & fast recovery) were evidently designed by Van Jacobson as described in RFC2001.[2] If listing Van Jacobson as one of the patch authors was meant to lend credibility to the patch, then it certainly worked on me as an initial appeal to authority. Particularly interested to see how BBR will perform over wireless networks.
