Package: linux-image-2.6.14-1-powerpc Version: 2.6.14-1 Severity: normal Hi, Linux < 2.6.14 used to have every TCP congestion algorithms as builtins but NewReno + BIC was default.
Linux 2.6.14 has splitted these features into modules. But default remains NewReno + BIC accordint to CONFIG_TCP_CONG_ADVANCED help message : "Nearly all users can safely say no here, and a safe default selection will be made (BIC-TCP with new Reno as a fallback)." And indeed NewReno+BIC is a good and safe default. Much better than NewReno But Debian .config has CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=m (CONFIG_TCP_CONG_*=m) which makes NewReno default. So this is like a "regression". I'd like debian kernel to have CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=y provided that one can easily switch to another algorithm (using /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_congestion_control).
