How to Easily Boost Ubuntu 16.04/17.10 Network Performance by Enabling TCP BBR

This tutorial shows you how to enable TCP BBR on Ubuntu 16.04/17.10. TCP BBR is a TCP congestion control algorithm developed by Google. It tackles shortcomings of traditional TCP congestion control algorithms (Reno or CUBIC). According to Google, it can achieve orders of magnitude higher bandwidth and lower latency. TCP BBR is already being used on Google.com, YouTube and Google Cloud Platform and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been standardizing this algorithm Since July, 2017.
