I noticed that Windows 10 now uses CTCP as the default TCP congestion/rate control algorithm, but Linux still defaults to the old Cubic algorithm.
CTCP doesn't appear to be available on Ubuntu LTS at the moment, but there's a whole host of others to choose from. Has anyone here worked out which is the best one to use on typical consumer internet links in Australia?
Over and above the rate control algorithm Linux has a bunch of features that make it work much better than a to-the-spec cubic implementation (not surprising with a bunch of large content providers like $EMPLOYER submitting their fixes upstream). Things like TCP pacing and the work from the bufferbloat folk have really improved things. https://fasterdata.es.net/host-tuning/linux/fair-queuing-scheduler/
