Use TCP BBR

This will enable TCP BBR congestion control algorithm to improve network bandwidth utilization (10x improvement is not uncommon).

Install linux kernel 4.9

Note: do this only if the distribution comes with a older kernel version.

URL=http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.9.9/linux-image-4.9.9-040909-generic_4.9.9-040909.201702090333_amd64.deb

wget $URL
sudo dpkg -i $(basename $URL)

sudo reboot

Enable TCP BBR

SYSCTL_CONF=/etc/sysctl.d/60-tcp-bbr.conf
echo "net.core.default_qdisc=fq" | sudo tee $SYSCTL_CONF
echo "net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control=bbr" | sudo tee -a $SYSCTL_CONF
sudo sysctl -p $SYSCTL_CONF

sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control
sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control
lsmod | grep bbr
