# Advanced usage: Deploy Google BBR congestion control algorithm
|
|
|
|
Google BBR is a congestion control algorithm that could significantly increase server throughput and reduce latency.
|
|
|
|
Google BBR has been built into Linux kernel 4.9 and higher, but needs to be manually turned on.
|
|
|
|
To learn more about the Google BBR algorithm, see this [official blog](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/networking/tcp-bbr-congestion-control-comes-to-gcp-your-internet-just-got-faster) or this [official repository](https://github.com/google/bbr).
|
|
|
|
## Prepare
|
|
|
|
You can check the current Linux kernel version with the command `uname -r`. When the version is greater than or equal to 4.9, you can deploy BBR directly by referring to the [instructions below](#deploy-google-bbr).
|
|
|
|
Generally speaking, the kernel versions of Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, CentOS 8+ and RHEL 8+ are greater than 4.9. But for CentOS 7 or Amazon Linux 2, you need to update the kernel in the following ways before deploying Google BBR.
|
|
|
|
### Amazon Linux 2
|
|
|
|
Amazon Linux 2 provides newer versions of the verified Linux kernel, which can be installed from the Extras repository.
|
|
|
|
1. Install `kernel-ng` from the Extras repository
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo amazon-linux-extras install kernel-ng
|
|
```
|
|
2. Update packages
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo yum update
|
|
```
|
|
3. Restart the system
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo reboot
|
|
```
|
|
4. Check the Linux kernel version
|
|
```bash
|
|
uname -r
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CentOS 7
|
|
|
|
When using CentOS 7, a newer Linux kernel provided by the ELRepo Project needs to be installed. More information about the Linux kernels provided by the ELRepo Project can be found at [this page](http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml).
|
|
|
|
Refer to the installation instructions below.
|
|
|
|
1. Import ELRepo Project's public key.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
|
|
```
|
|
2. Install ELRepo for RHEL-7, SL-7 or CentOS-7.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo yum install https://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm
|
|
```
|
|
3. Install `kernel-ml`.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml
|
|
```
|
|
4. Confirm the result.
|
|
```bash
|
|
rpm -qa | grep kernel
|
|
```
|
|
You should see `kernel-ml-xxx` in output.
|
|
5. Show all entries in the grub2 menu and setup `kernel-ml`.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo egrep ^menuentry /etc/grub2.cfg | cut -f 2 -d \'
|
|
```
|
|
**Indexing starts at `0`.**
|
|
For example, when the `kernel-ml` is located at `1`, use the command below to activate `kernel-ml`.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo grub2-set-default 1
|
|
```
|
|
6. Reboot.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo reboot
|
|
```
|
|
7. Check Linux kernel version.
|
|
```bash
|
|
uname -r
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deploy Google BBR
|
|
|
|
In this section, we will start Google BBR by modifying the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
1. Backup `/etc/sysctl.conf`
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo cp /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/sysctl.conf.backup
|
|
```
|
|
2. Modify `/etc/sysctl.conf`
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf
|
|
```
|
|
Add the following lines to the file
|
|
```
|
|
net.core.default_qdisc = fq
|
|
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bbr
|
|
```
|
|
3. Enable Google BBR
|
|
First, check your server's kernel version using `uname -r`.
|
|
For kernel versions >= 4.20, apply `sysctl` settings:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo sysctl -p
|
|
```
|
|
For kernel versions < 4.20, you must reboot the server:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo reboot
|
|
```
|
|
4. Check Google BBR status
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
|
|
# net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control = reno cubic bbr
|
|
sudo sysctl -n net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control
|
|
# bbr
|
|
lsmod | grep bbr
|
|
# tcp_bbr 16384 0
|
|
```
