November 9, 20187 yr I'd like to request that the TCP congestion control algorithm, BBR, be added into the unraid kernel: https://github.com/google/bbr

December 28, 20187 yr Author Following up on this - could really, really use this for better uploading speeds to the outside.
February 18, 20197 yr It's included in 6.7 see the releasr notes for rc1 above (unraid is currently at rc4) Edited February 18, 20197 yr by eek
March 1, 20197 yr The article about TCP BBR just recently popped up in my news feed. Did a Google search for "unraid tcp bbr" and it led me here to find that it's already been added to the next version. 😁 Dunno if I'll actually see any difference myself (sightly faster downloads? smoother remote streams?) but I'm glad to see that Limetech included it just the same.

BBR is primarily meant to improve OUTGOING speeds, as it was designed initially for YouTube to cut down on bandwidth waste. My use case for BBR is a 40+ MB/s speed improvement in seeding on torrent clients from a gigabit connection. Multiple high bandwidth Plex streams and downloading from your server outside of your network would likely see a performance increase as well.
