BBR是谷歌与2016年提出的TCP拥塞控制算法，在Linux4.9的patch中正式加入。该算法一出，瞬间引起了极大的轰动。在CSDN上也有众多大佬对此进行分析讨论，褒贬不一。
本文首先对源码进行了分析，并在此基础上对BBR算法进行总结。
1.源码分析
/* Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT (BBR) congestion control
*
* BBR congestion control computes the sending rate based on the delivery
* rate (throughput) estimated from ACKs. In a nutshell:
*
* On each ACK, update our model of the network path:
* bottleneck_bandwidth = windowed_max(delivered / elapsed, 10 round trips)
* min_rtt = windowed_min(rtt, 10 seconds)
* pacing_rate = pacing_gain * bottleneck_bandwidth
* cwnd = max(cwnd_gain * bottleneck_bandwidth * min_rtt, 4)
*
* pacing_rate和cwnd是整个算法最关键的核心所在，他们随着状态的变化而改变，并以此在实际上控制TCP的发包
*
* The core algorithm does not react directly to packet losses or delays,
* although BBR may adjust the size of next send per ACK when loss is
* observed, or adjust the sending rate if it estimates there is a
* traffic policer, in order to keep the drop rate reasonable.
*
* Here is a state transition diagram for BBR:
*
* |
* V
* +---> STARTUP ----+
* | | |
* | V |
* | DRAIN ----+
* | | |
* | V |
* +---> PROBE_BW ----+
* | ^ | |
* | | | |
* | +----+ |
* | |
* +---- PROBE_RTT <--+
*
* A BBR flow starts in STARTUP, and ramps up its sending rate quickly.
* When it estimates the pipe is full, it enters DRAIN to drain the queue.
* In steady state a BBR flow only uses PROBE_BW and PROBE_RTT.
* A long-lived BBR flow spends the vast majority of its time remaining
* (repeatedly) in PROBE_BW, fully probing and utilizing the pipe's bandwidth
* in a fair manner, with a small, bounded queue. *If* a flow has been
* continuously sending for the entire min_rtt window, and hasn't seen an RTT
* sample that matches or decreases its min_rtt estimate for 10 seconds, then
* it briefly enters PROBE_RTT to cut inflight to a minimum value to re-probe
* the path's two-way propagation delay (min_rtt). When exiting PROBE_RTT, if
* we estimated that we reached the full bw of the pipe then we enter PROBE_BW;
* otherwise we enter STARTUP to try to fill the pipe.
*
* BBR is described in detail in:
* "BBR: Congestion-Based Congestion Control",
* Neal Cardwell, Yuchung Cheng, C. Stephen Gunn, Soheil Hassas Yeganeh,
* Van Jacobson. ACM Queue, Vol. 14 No. 5, September-October 2016.
*
* There is a public e-mail list for discussing BBR development and testing:
* https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bbr-dev
*
* NOTE: BBR might be used with the fq qdisc ("man tc-fq") with pacing enabled,
* otherwise TCP stack falls back to an internal pacing using one high
* resolution timer per TCP socket and may use more resources.
*
* Without fq qdisc, there may be some problem about RTT fair when lots of BBR
* flows share a network but with different RTT.
* Long RTT may hold more throughput than little one.

* small (reducing queuing delay and packet loss) and achieve fairness among
* BBR flows.
*
* The min_rtt filter window is 10 seconds. When the min_rtt estimate expires,
* we enter PROBE_RTT mode and cap the cwnd at bbr_cwnd_min_target=4 packets.
* After at least bbr_probe_rtt_mode_ms=200ms and at least one packet-timed
* round trip elapsed with that flight size <= 4, we leave PROBE_RTT mode and
* re-enter the previous mode. BBR uses 200ms to approximately bound the
* performance penalty of PROBE_RTT's cwnd capping to roughly 2% (200ms/10s).
*
* Note that flows need only pay 2% if they are busy sending over the last 10
* seconds. Interactive applications (e.g., Web, RPCs, video chunks) often have
* natural silences or low-rate periods within 10 seconds where the rate is low
* enough for long enough to drain its queue in the bottleneck. We pick up
* these min RTT measurements opportunistically with our min_rtt filter. :-)

MODULE_DESCRIPTION("TCP BBR (Bottleneck Bandwidth and RTT)");2.小结
BBR算法的特色在于摒弃了30年以来旧有的框架，是一种虽然不是全新但是很多年来未有人继续研究的新的框架。在CSDN和知乎上有不少很精彩的评论分析贴，不推荐看CSDN上某大神的大量文献资料（搜BBR最容易搜到的大神），因为个人感情色彩过于强烈、表述也有些条例上的问题，不过图做的很棒。知乎上有一篇关于BBR算法优势的帖子非常值得一学。当然，最值得学习的还是源码和论文。（这里不得不吐槽谷歌小哥的论文写的真的是相当的烂）
个人认为BBR算法值得去学习、改良，因为这种控制面和数据面解耦、不敏感于丢包的算法其实是TCP一大改进方向。总觉得TCP和UDP的改进最后应该是趋于互相学习优点剔除缺点，而BBR可以说是在这方面进了一大步。
