@Bytesplit

Thanks a lot for the useful information, we do more research concerning what you have shared here.

there is a little bit of a miss-understanding here or at least you are missing some important details. If you have a 100Mbit line you could saturate it with approx. 10MB/sec at best. If you are at the opposite of the globe you will get packet loss and longer packet traveling times (RTT). Then your speed will perhaps max. out at 2-3MB/sec due to how TCP was designed.

BBR will improve on multi-hop network performance, e.g. when your server is in Asia and your clients are in Europe or US. Or satellite links or HSDPA slow wireless networks or…

It will NOT increase the physical output at the first hop from your server to your ISPs network port!

@Tomas

If there are ISP restrictions then going beyond 100Mbps will be a little bit of a challenge, unless you pay more bucks.

Hmm, by my ISP has a cap of 100Mbps (the capacity I pay for), how can I go beyond that limit? I’m puzzled as this would imply I can bypass any ISP restrictions. Any ideas?

@Tomas

Yes, we are suggesting that you can go above 100Mbps if you use TCP BBR, it is designed to increase server speeds on the Internet. BBR is already widely deployed on servers at Google where it was developed.
