Mozilla's Patrick McManus released an article thanking Google's open source team for fixing a 10-year-old Linux kernel TCP bug. Google Transport network members (QUIC,TCP, etc.) have fixed a TCP bug in Linux Kernel for nearly 10 years, which will greatly improve the performance and efficiency of the network. Fix branch Address: Https://github.com/torvalds/linu ... bb21d08762bcc35ce1d This branch solves the problem of cubic congestion control, which is the default algorithm for a large number of Linux distributions. This problem can be simply summed up as a controller error in a stationary period without congestion signal as the evidence of the network congestion, so that the faster the information sent, which will result in a terminal (node/port) can not successfully send any traffic, the process of continuous cycle, the result is the loss of packets, repeated sending, This results in a waste of bandwidth and reduced application efficiency. Google Open Source Group to organize this Linux kernel TCP problem and repair, and the results also open source, which plays an important role in the whole network, thank them for their contribution!
